sweet, I love the roooooooooom 

Alright, now that I got the main computer figured out, I need a pci parallel port card that will work.  A lot of the threads on here have dead links to what people use.  I did find this one in a post however: http://www.rogersmachine.net/PCIport.html  will this one work?  If not, any links to ones that are proven to work would be appreciated, thanks.

What PC did you choose ?  The HP D530 has a parallel port in it.

I ended up getting a PC from my brother in law.  2.5 GHZ, 1 gig ram, 320 gig hard drive.  It has an rs232 port which is what I thought I needed, but not a parallel port.

I'm also running windows 7 32 bit if that makes any difference.

both work well.

Will they work with windows 7? 

Also, so you have to do anything special with settings or anything so the card works in EPP mode or whatever is needed, or just install it with the right drivers and call it good?
