   Found a 9020 USFF on a local second hand site for 40€ so I think I'm   
   going to give it a try.   
      
   What I really hate is that pc manufacturers have so many models and   
   model numbers for what's basically the same thing. 1234a, 1234ab, 1234M,   
   1234ME, 1234ME+ and on and on and on...   
      
   Very annoying.
