I've been considering buying one myself. I had a quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to: Can you boot from and SD card? I know it's not a high demand feature... but it's important for me.

i just checked (yay im so nice! ;p) and .. you can't, at least not with the stock bios. I haven't tried hacking it to enable the advanced menus yet. ssd boot, network boot and external boot only, which is short for "usb boot". did try to format a sdcard with a boot sector and linux on it just in case, no go

Thanks! =D

Really appreciate it. Bit of a bummer. Oh well.
