So you basically are going to use it as a tiny HDD.

I still think it's silly lol, you're better off paying the little extra to get some actual space.

Nope. It would be silly not to do it.
He doesn't use his HDD for ANYTHING. The he probably won't even use 5GB.
USB sticks are half the price of normal HDDs and they're(the one I'm looking at) a LOT faster.

@knuckles
The parts you mentioned are not available anymore. They're way too old. You must've got it so cheap because the parts were old. Those parts are roughly 8 years old now.

And yes, it's possible get windows running on a USB. I think there's this one-click-utility that pretty much does it for you. You can also do it manually by formatting it and configuring it like a hard drive. I've never tried it though.

If what you are saying is right knuckles, you do know that the USB ports directly connect to the motherboard...right? So are you saying you would need a female USB to female USB header cable or something?

He changed his mind. He asked what a computer with some speed would cost.

So I put together a computer with i5 3570, an ITX chassi+MB, CD reader, 8GB RAM and an SSD.
It totaled 700bucks.
The cheapest one I suggested woulda cost ~300, but this PC would have a **** load more performance.
"I saw [Twilight: Eclipse] in theaters with a girl I was dating at the time. I spent more time staring at my toes and wiggling them than I did watching this abomination. When Edward proposed to Blank Face, I finally looked up with a revelation.
I blurted out loud, in a dead silent theater full of teenage girls on opening night "Wait a minute, Edward has no blood flow. How does he get an erection?" I heard several men laughing, and had several girls turn and stare at me.

I did not get laid that night." - Berengier817

Yes, obviously.
Intel HD graphics 4000 OP, NERF NAO.
It's actually pretty decent. I think it can run LoL in medium settings with a good framerate. Getting a real GPU would have been a huge waste.

No, silly you. I'm building a mini ITX platform, not standard ATX. Mini ITX is 17×17cm. Standard ATX is 30×25cm.
