the screen issue is easy to solve just use any remote desktop program and control it from another computer. I like splashtop HD it also works with my phone and tablet. There is no need to open ports in your router even if you want to remote in for outside your network.

For 50-70 you can get a very small.video transmitter to plug it to your LCD tv/monitor, also get a bluetooth 30ft range mouse and keyboard and its super easy to make changes to your robot , that's what I've done , programming takes time and trial and error you will be way more productive with a direct connection , save remote desktop from a android phone for when your trying to show it off at a convention or impress friends which is AFTER much trial and error.

http://store.mp3car.com/Intel_D410PT_Intel_Desktop_Board_With_integrated_I_p/mtb-064.htm This is a brand new board from reputable company , 55 bucks , just add cheap drive and ram , and 12v pico power supply.

I use VNC (http://www.realvnc.com/) it is better than remote desktop because you get the actual screen.

Also, most Mini ITX motherboards have a video composite output - so you can connect a small LCD screen to it.

I used real vnc for android once worked great.

Thank you everyone!

@jstarne1 is that board better than Dell FX160? seen FX160 on eBay for less than $30 w/free shipping at time.

@DJ That's awesome, i already have a HP Touchpad hacked with android ICS

Yes , DO NOT GET that Dell board , Dell loves charging for drivers, this board has connections for hard drive , more ram and faster ram , beefy processor (larger cache) , I'm not claiming its good as my Asus AMD am3 board but it will serve its purpose better than that Dell , that Dell though its cheaper apparently was not made to boot.from hard drive , it had embedded 512mb ram for the OS so I found later its not ideal , it was my fault for overlooking that.

If you want to spend a little more for more horsepower and future upgradeable options , its 79.99 for AMD fusion 1.0ghz or 119.99 w free shipping for AMD fusion 1.8ghz clockable to 2.0 GHz which far outperforms the atom series on the 55 dollar board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131843

Ok i'm not getting the Dell board knowing that it can't use SSD and low RAM, im looking out for a few more options, not in a hurry getting one just yet. Just making plan for next project. Thanks

There are eBay search links on this page: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Hardware.aspx?id=19

It's what i use to locate mini itx boards. They can be very cheap. And booting of SSD is slow, but with lots of ram - it is okay. I would suggest Compact Flash, if you can justify it. For some reason Compact Flash is expensive even though it is a thousand years old - oh well.

Or, even better is a small cheap solid state. http://www.memoryexpress.com is down the street from my house, and they have good deals on solid state
