okay, so I know this isn't a "home built" question, but I couldn't find anywhere else to post this,
I'm looking for a computer for my kitchen, primary use is for looking up recipes and playing music while cooking and the occasional bout of star craft when we need an extra computer... oh an occasionally using it to load pictures from my camera to the network if I'm too lazy to run to my room after a shoot
oh and the catch, I've only got about $300 to blow...
I don't need a wifi card, since I already have wires routed from my server...
I don't need a huge hard drive since I have network storage (just upgraded to 5tb )
I don't need ps/2... or any legacy for that matter
it does however need plenty of USB ports and fast Ethernet
I also wouldn't mind solid state... that would probably cost more... but for the speed I might be willing to dish out a bit more...
I also like the idea of an external PSU... it's kinda cool in a way, and saves a ton of space in the case!
edit: I was looking on newegg and found the ZOTAC IONITX-G-E
the Zotac caught my eye due to it's miniPCIe port... I could plug a 64gb ssd in there and not even need a hard drive... talk about space saver! I just couldn't tell if it was a half height port or full height... anyone here know? I suppose it wouldn't be much of an issue it could just hang over the edge... but it would be nice to screw everything down proper...
