wim, you're absolutely correct. I've been building computers for 20 years and could have done it cheaper and have a more powerful system. However, I don't think the typical reader of our high-def blog has the experience that you and I have, so I took a simple approach. If this were a hardware blog, then I would have gone along the lines of what you proposed (I especially like the choice of hard drive for transfer speed, BTW!).
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
