Topic: Cheap netbook to run printer
I'm just wondering what most of you use to control your printer? I'm considering finding a cheap Windows or Linux netbook (Intel Atom, most likely) to use exclusively with the printer. This way I can keep it compact and in a closet, away from people who are annoyed by the sound and moving air (as I don't have an enclosure).
I imagine slicing software and Repetier host use very little processing power and the Atom and LOW end graphics would be more than enough.
Is there any huge flaw with this plan that I should know about? Repetier sucks on Linux, etc.? Other inexpensive ways to easily (no SD card mod) get the printer in a closet?
