+Here are the system stats if you are interested
+http://www.cpcnw.co.uk/sysinfo/sysinfo.htm
+Costings for the above build are as follows;
+  * Plastic Case £5.29
+  * MicroSD Card £9.66
+  * Raspberry Pi II £29.93
+  * UK Mains Plugin PSU £6
+  * Chipset Heat Sink Kit £3.50
+  * Sandisk Memory Vault 8GB £6.49
+Total Cost £60.87
+Edit: Have since replaced the Sandisk Memory Vault as it has inbuilt [[https://forums.sandisk.com/t/sandisk-memory-vault-8gb-read-only-at-5gb/31107|write limits]]. Instead I have installed the following;
+{{ wiki:SDSA6AM-016G-1006-lg.jpg?360}} SDSA6AM-016G-1006 SanDisk U110 16GB MLC SATA 6Gbps Half-Slim SATA Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
+Bought two brand new off http://www.ebay.co.uk for cheap. The prices have all gone up now.
+They have a rated MTBF of 2000000 Hour(s) which equates to 228 years. Should see me out I reckon...
+I have also replaced the plastic case with a metal case which has vents etc and improved cooling.
