Thanks for the replies...

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are expensive! But its the price you pay I suppose!

The problem with the cable is that you are wearing out the socket, especially how much I would be using it. Hence a wireless solution would be better.

In terms of video playback, I could always use a media centre and simply load the hi-def video on that.... but ideally I would want to play it directly off the N900.

As for using it as a PC, I have noticed maemo does get a little slow when you have loads of windows open. So I think that could be a limitation of maemo...

So the next step would be to maybe wipe it and put my own linux distibution on it... Something like LFS (Linux From Scratch).

That way, I think I could eek out more from the hardware... What do you think?

I could then take that one step forward and write a driver based on the current driver and output via Wifi. Then all I need is a Wifi monitor and job done????

Has anyone done this? (using it as a main PC?)

Thanks.
