Is there someplace else I should look?
The computer is a DakTEch Freedom 4 P4 DDR System.

The system board is a D865GBFL w/LAN,audio & video
Processor Intel Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz 800FSB

40.0GB Seagate Ultra ATA 5400 rmp
Onboard IDE controller
64 MB ATI Radeon DDR video
1.44 MB floppy drive
CD/DVD Drive 52X EIDE CD ROM
Sound integrated AC97 audio w/Soundmax
AOC LM720 flat panel monitor
HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer
integrated Intel 10/100 ethernet w/D865GBF board
Toshiba SDR5112 CDRW/DVDRW combo internal
The keyborad is a Logitech USB keyboard.
There is also a 400GB internal disk drive added post-purchase.
It is now the boot disk.

Of more concern to me right now is that my keyboard no longer works
on my Xfce desktop on Fedora 17. I cannot type into a terminal or
into a firefox form.
I am on another console. It does not play nice with the system I am using for mail.
