My Laptop that I've been happily using as a VortexBox has died so I'm replacing it. I've got a small form factor PC on the way to use for the time being but want something lower power as it will be always on.
I'll probably end up getting a net book or another laptop second hand and using that but wondered if there is a better solution for as little money as possible?
I guess I'd be willing to pay upto £150 for a small black box of tricks. I've got a 2TB USB drive for storage so doesn't need to have internal storage capacity. Silent or very quiet are also must haves.
Something like this looks ideal but a bit over budget once memory & optical drive are added (I've already got a 2.5HDD that I could use). http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-ZBOX-I...words=micro+pc
Does anything cheap and ready to go out the box with minimal hassle exist?
Cheers all.
