I would prefer the MU10 but those have been selling for double the price. It supports XG and i have quite a few XG midis …

This is not a normal ISDN card. This is a business ISDN card with a RISC CPU to relieve the host CPU load.^^ It might be still in use in some businesses, like XP in the navy. And if a business needs a replacement you only get them for this rediculus price. Edit: I might should add that in general …

That should work. But consider that you put up a new antenna(cable) in a noisy area(PC) Audio/MIDI Signal may suffer.

Desolder them as quick as possible! The green gunk on the board, you don't want that. It will destroy your board if you don't remove it.

I'm not familiar with Juniper at all, so i can't say anything about their PSUs or their smaller devices. A quick search brought up this PDF http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/netscreen-systems/netscreen-systems60/HW_SSG5_600.pdf It looks like a normal PSU though if you find one with 12V >4.2A …

Well, Juniper makes Business grade hardware and they're super expensive. I don't think you need them on small LAN parties. But the bigger the party the more ports the better it is if you have such beasts. And of course you can share files over them. But have in mind that business switches are …

I don't know if MUNT has support for ASIO, but you can try to install ASIO4all (http://www.asio4all.com/) select it as an output and try it again.

Shouldn't coin cells like the CR2032 widely available? As long as you don't take a no name brand you should be fine.
