    Recently I hadn't been using my 701 since there really wasn't any reason since I got an iPhone. It's just been collecting dust and because there have been a bunch'a folks that have been selling there 900 for $150 I can'tget anywhere near the $200 I would want for it with all my upgrades. After a while of considering I realized that one thing that had kept me entertained with the 701 the most was the N64 emulator so I decided to take everything unnecessary off (Office, Adobe, WMP and other stuff) and loading all emulators to the SSD since they are verily small (NES, SNES, GBC, GBA, N64, PSX and PSP) and using my SDHC for ROMS. I love using the xbox 360 controller, its perfect and the EeePC emulators look great hooked to my bigscreen. I heard there was a way to do up to 4 player multiplayer and you can take it the road.

    My other idea was to use it as a Linux server hooked to a couple of external HDDs.
