Hello, I am new to all things cnc so please bear with me. I have been posting here and have been receiving a lot of great help. I have a Dell GX620 SSF and have read that I should put a separate parallel printer port card in it so in case something goes wrong the card will be blown and not my whole system? I found a cheap card on ebay (link below), but don't know if it's up to par? Any suggestions are appreciated, THANK YOU! db25 printer card items - Get great deals on Computers Networking items on eBay.com!  |

| Just use the built in port. I've only read of one person in 8 years frying their PC, and it was due to serious miswiring issues. If you're really worried, buy a spare motherboard for $20 http://cgi.ebay.com/Dell-OptiPlex-GX...item2c5cbaa503
