well I received my new goodies and could not wait to start the build. case is a MI-008, which is real nice for a guy on a budget. I went with the asrock zacate motheboard for about 110 bucks,2 gigs gskill ram, and a full size hard drive I had already.. I have to say coming from an acer Ion single core with 2 gigs of ram and windows 7, WOW what a difference! everything is smooth as silk, and very peppy for a 1.6 ghz machine. Plays flash like a breeze, even 1080p files.. I'm real happy for my investment of about 200 bucks. I had this thing built in about an hour and was installing windows 7. Xbmc is very responsive and peppy. So for those who are reluctant to pull the trigger on a new zacate build... go for it!
