I mean i currently own a very fast desktop... i7 extreme 64gb of ram, 4gb video card, raid 0 ssd, its my gaming desktop, windows OS, etc etc, i can install ubuntu and dual boot but im not sure how that would work...

So im just staring to use ROS, and im building a litle robot, i just want to learn how to use ROS, and ill be using a Kinect... Just wondering what kind of CPU i need? i have a motherboard that supports 1155 Intel chips, so not sure which one to get :(

So eventually i want my bot to visualize the room its at, be able to move with out hiting something (so it will have to create a map of its location)... I also want to be able to play chess against my bot, so i want to be able to identify chess piece (using the Kinect or Xtion) and be able to move them to a desired location (using a servotic arm)...

how is the ASUS Xtion PRO LIVE compared with the kinetc???

but do i have to use the power cable? If so i guess i have to cut the transformer it self and hook it to my robot battery...

So i finally finish building up my robot, with a litle computer built in into it.. And i just purchased a Kinetic sensor but the connector wont fit on one of the USB ports, so im guessing ill need to purchase one of those adapters than convert that kinetic port into USB and power (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Kinect-Hyperkin-AC-Adapter/dp/B0057K045O/ref=sr_1_4?rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1356728403&sr=8-4&keywords=Xbox+360+Kinect+AC+Adapter%2F+Power+Supply)

Do i need to use that power cable? or the USB cable is good enough, also is the kinetic sensor i got the right one? or they actually sell one that comes already with USB port??

Thanks

I was told here that the dual core atom D525 was not good enough for kinetic imaging processing and mapping and controlling arm navigation, that it may be to slow for it.. Im wondering how would the E-350 AMD perform?? is it the same as the atom D525?

Im looking at this: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157228

I will use an arbotix board to control servos, and the board with ROS to process kinetic image, and move its built in servo

Updated question again

Updated question

Would this be a good setup? Im mostly interested on the MB/CPU/PSU and battery

MB: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186211

CPU: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115078

PSU: www.logicsupply.com/products/picopsu_160

Battery: www.batterymart.com/p-12v-7ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery.html

Case: www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_111&product_id=63#.UMlFRbT3BT5

Also i'll be using a Arduino/Arbotix and a motor controller for controlling motors, and servos.

Anything i should change? or look into?

Edit: I want to build a robot, that will create a map of its location using the kinetic, also i want to add 1-2 hands to it, that he can use to grab objects and open doors... Hands will use servos.

Sorry didnt know

because it says i dont have enought karma

I kinda want to imitate this robot: htxp://forums.trossenrobotics.com/showthread.php?4654-Maxwell-A-Mobile-Manipulator

But i want my base to be this one: htxp://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_111&product_id=63#.UMlFRbT3BT5

So i been thinking to add a computer to it.. Will something like this work: htxp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121442 (i got ram/HD and will use this PSU: htxp://www.logicsupply.com/products/picopsu_80, i currently have this battery: htxp://www.batterymart.com/p-12v-7ah-sealed-lead-acid-battery.html )

I want to use a xbox kinetic sensor which connects use to that MB. But i need to use a board to control the servos, ill probably use the arbotix board.

Should i worry about getting that MB, or just get a raspberry pi?

sorry links have an x on them, coulnt post full links

edit #1:

Can you recommend a motherboard + CPU that would be good for this type of task? Thanks

I guess i could go with something like this: htxp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186211 and i can pick alot of different types of cpus

when i try to post links it says i dont have enough karma to post links.
