Then by all means run windows!  You have to use what you need or it
won't do you any good.

There are large capacity 2.5" drives (12 gig. and beyond) avaiable
that could handle all that and more on one drive.  You might want to
confirm that you can off load the data on to a hard disk and have it
still work (just in case there is any nasty copy protection) before
investing your time and money.  There also may be OS limitations on
drive size (not sure as I do not run windows) that you may want to
check in out in advance.

Often the cpu also has a fair amount of I/O sometimes even including
vidio.  Check http://pc104.org/ and you can look around at what
different manufactures offer.  Also look around any or many of the
wearble sites that various universities (MIT and others) and wearable
users have put up where you will be able to read what we do for power
and displays.  Once you have had a look around and have a better idea
what you want to build, by all means come back and ask questions.

Happy hunting!
