My best experience migrating a legacy system into a VM was with Acronis True Image with Universal Restore. I took the drive out of an old P4 Dell running XP, imaged with True Image, created a VM, booted from the recovery iso, and used universal restore feature. Worked pretty darn well, much...

Might want to look into the Intel NUCs, some run of 12V power according to this review: http://www.legitreviews.com/intel-nuc-dn2820fykh-bay-trail-system-review_135053 Only 1 sata port, but there is USB3 on board.

When I got startisback, which came about 3 months after launch or so. The lower ram usage, faster boot, and faster installs made me switch. Also not having to deal with 4 years of extra updates and crap.

Not sure if trolling, but funny nonetheless :P

What about orange_ maps in CS:S, DOD:S, and TF2? Just throwing it out there...

With CM11, the tablet is moderately usable, just be careful when multitasking too much, or have a lot of background tasks.
