That is nice, but when you say 900, do you mean US or Canadian?
BTW: My main uses for it would be ROM hacking, the Internet, basically everything you'd do on any other PC (and maybe watching anim |

Something in the range of $1000 (Canadian), ~2Ghz, at least 256MB RAM and 40GB HD. Any suggestions? |
