Could you tell me what kind of RAM this machine uses?  I have spare
laptop RAM lying around (SO-DIMM) so it makes it more enticing for me
if it uses the 200-pin RAM instead of 240-pin.

Also, this doesn't come with the wireless keyboard/mouse.  What kind
of solution are you considering or would recommend?
