APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Sometime in the next month.

BUDGET RANGE: $300-$425 Before Rebates

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Schoolwork (VB, Office) > Videos(Hulu/Youtube...Fullscreen?) > Portable HTPC > Music

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Mouse, speakers.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg and Amazon

PARTS PREFERENCES: No real preference.

OVERCLOCKING: It's a netbook...

SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Again, it's a netbook...

MONITOR RESOLUTION: At least 1024 X 600 (Though I'd prefer an HD res...)

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'm going to use this in school primarily, with some part-time usage at home or traveling. An HDMI port is definitely something I want in the netbook (Though I might take one without it, if I really like it), along with G/N Wifi and an average battery life of at least 4-5 hours.

These are the current two I'm looking at:

Here's a netbook I recently got, the MSI Wind U210: http://www.everyjoe.com/thegadgetblog/msi-wind-u210-pics-first-impressions/

It's also available on NewEgg. It actually has enough power to run CS Source (though obviously at low settings) . What I really like about this netbook though are it's 1366 x 768 resolution, large and easy-to-type on keyboard, and HDMI port!
