Hello everyone, Been a troll for a few weeks and finally broke down and purchased my new (refurb) Mini9. Up and running well, writing this on her now. No mods or anything yet. May have to bump up to 2gb and pick up a sd card for additional space. Only thing that surprises me is how warm the darn thing gets. Either way specs are below and I look forward to participating on the forum. Dell Mini 9 (refurb) Black Windows XP (might try Windows 7 for the fun of it) 1gb ram 16gb ssd bluetooth 1.3 webcam $270.83 + tax Thanks Friar_Nurgle Friar Nurgle - Dell Mini9 - Refurb - Black - XP - 16GB ssd - 2GB ram - 1.3MP cam - BT - 16 GB sd card - |

Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here. If it is not getting SUPER hot then I would not concern yourself with it however, if it seems that the heat is a little unbearable take a look here what others have to say. http://mydellmini.com/forum/when-is-...ot--t1995.html |

Thanks a bunch Phoenix. Funny, I was just reading through that post. Seems, there is nothing to worry about. Been running for close to 5 hours downloading updates, installing programs, watching Hulu and surfin at 43c... granted I was using a meat thermometer just shoved under hottest part of the bottom. So no worries. Back to watching Hulu. Cya :P Friar Nurgle - Dell Mini9 - Refurb - Black - XP - 16GB ssd - 2GB ram - 1.3MP cam - BT - 16 GB sd card - |

Windows 7 runs great on the mini. I have moved on to OSX now though. The mini 9 is a blast. Make an image of your current set up and install Windows 7. Then you can always go back. Old Config: Dell Mini 9, Black, 2GB RAM, 32GB RunCore SSD, Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP3/ 7 Beta. Older Config: Dell Mini 9, Black, 1GB RAM, 8GB SSD, Windows XP Pro SP3 with all updates. |

I love the feelings of coming home from work and seeing a package waiting for me on the porch |
