I then thought of making a computer based on Atom processor with a mini-ATX motherboard formats (in order to decrease the size) and having among other things already have a memory bank 1GB USB sticks and some of them will be 'short .
I tried and I finally found a great "Holiday" with built in that I did not want external transformers. The selection and

Come potete osservare nei confronti della mano il micro-pc e' realmente compatto.

last thing that puzzles me, and 'that I spend a PC plugged in but I find strange and too high a value at the time I do not know the answer .. so you need to disconnect it from the network (which I promptly through the first wireless system strip.)
