ECS would be selling the LIVA as a kit, which means you ought to have some technical know how ready in hand so that you will be able to put one of these puppies together yourself. It will not be too difficult actually, as the memory, storage and CPU happens to remain attached to the motherboard, so all that you really need to bring together in one piece would be the case itself. Having said that, the ECS LIVA is definitely not a machine that is easy to upgrade where its components are concerned, so do think it over carefully before making a decision, and just in case you would like to wait and see, there is a new model in the works later this August that would sport double the amount of storage at 64GB.
