My cordless mouse plugs into the usb port as does my wifi.

Then make sure you have lots of memory. I like having 2GB minimum but
then I do a graphics work with Blender and Gimp. In any case memory is
cheap and makes things go fast provided you have a good swappiness
setting. Anyone with 1gb plus should perhaps change that setting from
the default of 60 to 10-20 or so. I also love to have silent computers
because who wants to listen to that hum all the time? Quite is a
factor that not many people think about at first. There is a good web
site on the subject.
