I don't even let them go on the net unsupervised (if they want to browse the internet they do it in the living room). So I dare say this sort of thing would be ideal. I'm hoping to get a couple of USB DVB-T sticks too but I'm sure the Atom will be able to handle decoding standard definition video okay :-)That board only has SATA ports - are there any DVD (or even CD-ROM!) drives using SATA yet?Gordon
Yep, in fact it's harder to get IDE drives now. Their existing PC is just SATA.
