    Does the C90 have an internal USB port? I was thinking about internalizing my wireless mouse dongle since I have almost broke it several times. I know that sometimes there are one or two internal usb in desktops, but I don't think there are any in notebooks. If not maybe I can convert one of the external ones.

    I know I could get a bluetooth mouse but that would use more battery power than a wireless usb mouse.

    Thought so. Then plan B. I'll look to see if any of the usb slots could be modified and turned around, or maybe see if I could put an internal usb hub inside... hm.. an internal hub sounds good. And if you can fit one in a eeepc, than it should be no problem fitting it into a c90. I'll take a look when I get a chance.

    You can probably connect a USB hub to the Mini-PCIe port if you don't have the AverMedia A301 TV Tuner. So basically it's exactly like how the eeePC does it, now I don't have the pinouts and you would have to figure that out yourself as to how to connect them.

    Sounds great. Yeah, didn't get a tuner with mine and probably won't so that would be great. But it's a project that will have to wait till summer. :( No time right now. I'll read up on exactly how they did the eeepc one (I have it bookmarked..... somewhere.....) :rolleyes:
