ZBOX-ID82 Double check before I press "BUY"
#1
Followed Eskro's advice on this mini server (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=109453). Now ready for "The Box" to go with it!

Eskro found this ZBOX ID82-U (http://www.provantage.com/zotac-zbox-id8...OTC0C7.htm)
He also found the ZBOX ID82 PLUS - U version (http://www.provantage.com/zotac-zbox-id8...OTC0C8.htm)

Just needed a sanity check before I click the "BUY" button.

With ZBOX ID82-U I will need 3 things to go with it
1) Ram
2) Hard drive
3) Operating System (Need Win 7 because of Netflix)
4) I believe remote control comes with itHuh Not sure? Can someone confirm.

Questions:
1) Ram....any ideas? Pros, Cons...Good Bad...etc?
2) Hard drive. I already have a Cruical 64GB M4 SSD
3) Win 7. On this issue my question is I already have a Win 7 x64 DVD. Can't I just purchase a Win 7 x64 LICENSE and use my current Win 7 x64 to physically install? Or is it better to just have a 2nd Win 7 DVD?

And I just thought of an issue....The XBOX ID-82 U Doesn't have any sort of DVD drive....ahhhh....how to install from Win 7 x64 DVD?

Thank you gents

You can:
1. Get a cheap USB DVD drive.
2. On another PC:
a. Download the Windows USB/DVD Download tool (http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msst...vd_dwnTool) onto another machine.
b. Either take the ISO off your DVD or better yet download it from http://www.mydigitallife.info/download-w...oad-links/
c. Put a 4GB USB key in your PC
d. Run the USB tool and make a bootable USB out of the ISO (follow the prompts) onto your USB key
e. Put the USB key in your new PC
f. Boot off the USB key (from boot menu or BIOS)
