I use a iPhone and iPad for all my web based stuff, I don't do 'proper' computer/PC work but now I've bought a Zumo I need a PC for Basecamp. Got a (8 year) old Acer desktop in the spare room but the tower is dead and it's only running vista.
Been looking around and found THIS on the bay.
Could I just plug this into my existing monitor and keyboard? The disk drive would be handy as our (dongle) wifi is a bit temperamental so if I buy any maps I would get them on disk....feel a bit safer that way. There's no wifi on the tower but apart from upgrading maps etc I presume I won't need to be connected to the web.....is that right?....I presume I could just plug the dongle in if I need Internet connection?
I have looked at new laptops but there all more than I want to spend on something that's only going to get used for route planning.
