I run it on 2gb, I only use it for movies and the memory is my limiting factor but it still runs and works. 

The obvious is probably all that you can worry about, and thats simply there was an error in the reinstall or reset. 
Not questioning your reasons, but if you plan to reinstall or mess with the OS much you should invest in an install thumb drive. 
You could try cloning the functioning laptop os to the ssd, at least for a temporary fix. 
Sadly with no working operating system for the computer you are pretty much stuck reinstalling with a boot media. If you have a thumb drive you could us it or a cd.
You could try partition the ssd into one 16gb part and the another parition, using the 16gb as a boot media and installing to the other. Or for a temporary patch you could use wintousb and make the ssd a working windows.
Either way you'll need to download a windows iso (llegitimately or from getintopc.com) and either Rufus(for install) or wintousb(for a temporary fix).
The iso will be l=about 3gb which will take awhile and the other programs are about half a gig
You can try the cloning option but that has alot of troubles and without internet you won't be able to correct them and it may not even work. 

Design and a personalized cover are juvenile?
Plastering one's case in random stickers is childish, but some degree of tasteful aesthetic enhancement works for kids 9-90. People add vinyl to cars and ink to their bodies at all ages.
 
none the less, here my peace, simply my primary handle

Honestly any keyboard that allows you to setup macro keys or shortcuts. Possibly the Corsair k90 would be one of the best since it has so many extra macro keys that you can use to set up things. 

no dont
thats what causes tons of issues
just put windows 10 on a USB drive and install it, then activate with the windows 7 key you own
 
 

Its always good to know, the large community can show you via google and many of ubuntu features are still in mint. good luck 

Can you access other network devices/locations? Do you use static ips? can you connect other devices to the wifi? 
a common issue is an ip address conflict
Check adapter settings in the ipv4 and set it to automatic or change it to something static, there are some youtube how-tos on this another option is to manually enter the ip and mac addresses into the router if it allows

clone dont just copy but yes, though it can have some issues. try it and if it fails do a fresh install as fixing it would be all but impossible.

I tried it live, doesn't seem bad though I had some issues with hostapd, I'm back on my installed 15 until 16.04 gets some bugs fixed and the community shifts

It will work, 2gb of ram for the OS to work in + 1gb per tb of storage is a safe practice. If you plan to have more than like 4tb you need a better cpu to keep up though. As for the mobo, just get the factor that suits you and has 10/100/1000 ethernet you probably want more than 3 sata ports. The case depends on the MoBo factor but as long as it has the right number of drive bays it will work. If you use freenas you need a 16+gb drive just for the OS but you can use usb3.0 for that. PSU get atleast bronze rated for this. 

If you do alot of hardware work, a catch tray is always helpful to hold screws, small parts, screw drivers etc 
I'd say a nice long power strip to charge devices and plug in various things without crawling under the desk. A ups as well
headphone holders,cup holder, the list goes on; pinterest and life hacker are great for these things

Shhh, before the mods use men-in-black deneuralizers on us

Sounds like its corrupted, not ruined since it reads but corrupted
 
yes, i know thats an hdd but the point stands

ah, well if you're sure the usb is good then you may have to just replace the bios
It can vary with motherboards, you may want a new thread and include your mobo but here's a general starter
http://www.wikihow.com/Reflash-BIOS
Just hook the hdd to another pc and make it bootable with windows(wintousb) or the bios 

a dominator GT72S, but they aren't very thin but still portable and about $3k

You can. You need at least one router that has a wireless bridge mode, which allows it to connect to the wireless signal from the primary router, then other devices can connect to it (normally through a wire) to also be connected to the primary router. 

EDIT: If the router you want as the bridge support DD-WRT firmware, this a good guide: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/reuse-an-old-router-to-bridge-devices-to-your-wireless-network/

Also, have a look around both routers' settings to see if either has a wireless bridge mode on the stock firmware. 

that's not stupid... that is completely retarded.

Thats the next upgrade, right now they're at this lol
 
Either way, I'm not even that disappointed in a cheap router, but you can still have decent security with crap routers. This is full on 10 year old son of the manager needed a job
