New Project :) (Netbook)

Hey guys, just picked this up on eBay for $40...

That's the best pic I have for now lol

It's an ASUS Eee PC 900HD.

It obviously needs a new screen, it also needs a hard drive and a power cord. I also plan on upgrading the memory to 2GBs.

My questions now begin. Where would you guys get a screen from? I found some cheap ones with decent warranties on ebay:

I am considering getting a SSD but not really sure if it's worth it in this computer.

What would you guys recommend for a hard drive for this thing and other things to do while I have it open? I plan to clean it out completely and make it look close to new.

Thanks for the input!

I put a touchscreen in my 900HA, makes it pretty rad. HDD is fine as long as you don't toss it around too bad. I put a 250gb in mine. Upping it to 2gb is a good idea. Power cord I'm sure you could get from ebay for cheap.

I already got the powercord, next is the HDD then screen as I can run it off an external screen for now... I don't want to do SSD right now I don't think, I want a better netbook if I'm going that route lol

EDIT:

nevermind, found this for under $50 shipped, I'll only be using the netbook for music, pictures and simple browsing...

That should make her boot quick and will be transfered to my next netbook..
