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.
