[no subject]

As I contemplate the next rounds of hardware upgrades that loom on the
far horizon of next Christmas' software hits, I had an idea that
probably is nuts, but worth exploring:

USB peripherals, all the way, on a motherboard with just video card
and RAM - USB keyboard and mouse, USB HDs, USB CD/DVD-RW, etc.  Then I
can spend just $200 to get new mobo and/or video card if necessary,
keeping my config and stuff safe.  I can add on HDs as needed to
upgrade OS, etc.

I'd probably need to keep a PS2 keyboard around for BIOS setup
out-of-the-box, of course.

So is this just a pipedream, or is an all-USB system possible ?
