Congrats! The 5300c screens I once had were not quite as sturdy as the cs's, but that may just have been my bad luck. They are nice little machines and I agree, 8.1 is a good OS for it. I have 8.6 and was toying with the idea of trying that on one of mine, just to see if I could get an Orinoco card to work, but I've decided against that...would probably just make it sluggish.
Sounds like a nice use for it, too!
