A 8IG1000MK motherboard with P4 266 and 512 meg Ram with an integrated 82865G Intel graphics sharing 32M of ram It needed a DVD drive and is soon to have a wireless Kb & Mouse but it connects via the VGA port to a Samsung telly I put Linux Mint on and everything (yes everything ) works fine!!!! Wireless Network DVD palyer mp3s flash BBC iplayer Cups printing I have had to do only Ip address and edit the hosts file so I can use VNC and ssh. So no lappy needed just use the telly instead Even the wife didnt know when we were watching Larkrise to Minions we were using the Iplayer even on a 1/2 speed broadband connection.
