[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1072198, member: 176704"] AND THEN a BIG W10 Update last week [I][B]totally[/B][/I] [B][I]"fried" [/I][/B]the ACER - won't even boot past the Splash screen or let me into the BIOS , and, after a lot of testing, I finally concluded that it has become an "ex-PC", probably due to excessive overheating of the CPU during the "update".:angry: Anyway, finally decided that I had had enough of those nettops and went looking for something else, and with more expansion possibilities. So, I found this - [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163692627413']HP ElliteDesk 800 G2 [/URL]= good iCore I5-6500 quad core processor, 8GB RAM,500GB HDD, 4x expansion slots (my DVBSky 952 DVB S2 card is now already in there), lots of USB3 ports, Win 10 Pro (+ wired k/b & mouse) for £170 delivered (but a 4GB upgrade to 8GB of RAM cost an extra £20) with 60 day warrantee.:D Very clean and (at least by my standards) very quick even without an SSD, and so I'm very pleased with it and almost tempted to buy another one to take over as the main PC - but holding off on that I have spent an awful lot on other things over the last few days! Only "fly in the ointment" was the totally ABYSMAL delivery performance from DPD, the courier service - it should have been here last Friday, but it "got stuck" several times and only arrived on Tuesday!
