    Let me start by saying I know this is a DESKTOP but please, it is notebook hardware and well, desktopreviews forum is just not as active so please let me keep it here :)


    I am looking to get a netbox for my main monitor to get rid of my huge tower that is all messed up from years of moving and abusive roommates. I am looking at the Zotac ZBox HD-AD01 because of it's low price. I am hoping to be able to play music, Netflix Instant and streaming off of a home networked server later, some basic internet surfing, no games or anything like that. It will cost 170 dollars right now, which is so cheap it is hard to say no. Otherwise for about 100 more I can get a Celeron SU2300 version, which I can put 2 so-dimms into, but it is well, 100 more.


    Edit: I am somewhat of an AMD Fanboy, or more of an Intel/Apple hater, this is supposed to more or less hold me off until bulldozer really gets rolling.
