I have decided to dump my Comcast phone service and go with the MagicJack. This pc I built just for it will run 24/7...

A little overboard on the case but I wanted something that had at least a little class to it lol. I used one of my old SuperTalent 32GB ssd's so there would be no extra heat generated. I'm quiet pleased at how it turned out and hopefully it will run trouble free for a long period of time.

I sure hope... that is a file server or something as well.

So how much crap does it really install on your rig. Can you install network monitoring software on it to see how it works? I never looked into it deeply. I am betting its another company like Skype behind it...

(Has google bought skype yet?)

Let us know how that majicJack works for ya.

It's been rumor Google buying Skype for like three years now.

I had used this before years ago and it worked just fine. If it installed any crap I have no clue...what or where would I be looking for it?

I cant read that task list.

Dunno, I looked into magic jack a few times, and saw complaints about adware/malware and stuff getting installed. Have been trying to talk my family into it since we all use Cells.

Awesome though if not true. Could install it on my HTPC :)
