That's another important factor you might want to consider.

I haven't had any of these troubles with my AMD Shuttle. Fairly easy to put together, a few hours at most. Pay attention to the return/exchange policy where ever you buy, I haven't had to return anything though. Best Buy may try to shaft you with plinko components. If you post actual specs and price people will critique it for you and possibly offer alternatives. be specific
