Looks good to me. You can boot from a USB aswell.

Spec looks good, only thought is spend a extra few pounds and get this Samsung F3

EDIT: better for him to read advice and ignore it, than not receive it!

How do you work that one out?
Its called spamming

sorn21 · 4 Jan 2010 at 19:53

Somebody been drinking tonight perchance? Noticed you're getting aggressive in a couple other threads too.
Anyway FYI, no, it's not called spamming, it's called offering advice.
I skimmed through the OP, looked at the components and offered a suggestion.
