Hi guys.
I'm planning to build a successor to my beloved XBox 1 which served me so many years.
This offer seemed damn good:
http://bit.ly/d7E9i (mini-itx.com)
I was thinking of the Zotac ION-ITX-A Dual Core Atom with 2GB Ram, of course combined with XBMC/Linux. What I dont know is: is it worth buying one of those OCZ SSD drives? I had bad results lately in my first effort with combining a HAMA 8GB SSD and the Asus P5N7-A (board wasn't able to see the disk properly). Is it worth using such a SSD at all? or would a USB stick be enough? All movies reside on a fileserver in the LAN, so all the soon-to-be disk has to handle is XBMC.
and totally offtopic:
wouldn't such a case be totally awesome?
(mockup of the psile case)
