Step 8All the rest of it...
If your laptop still powers up at this point, you're in great shape. You can install your operating system and configure it to your liking. You can now decide whether you will install a tuner, DVD drive, etc. As with all computers, you have complete freedom to decide what you will do next.
My use for this machine is as a media center extender for the bedroom. My girlfriend and I can now stream movies from Netflix, catch up on our missed episodes of 30 Rock with Hulu Desktop, or watch any of the television programs recorded on the front room PC from the comfort of the bed. This little computer does a lot more than a typical extender. Another idea I'm toying with is using the onboard modem as an on-screen caller ID. At some point I'll be adding a firewire DVD drive to watch DVD movies.
