I have a similar problem in that I modified the hardware. I put in 16 Gb ram and a new 120 Gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I was running Ubuntu 13.10 and other than a few issues with Ubuntu it worked great. But I wanted to use it in 64 bit mode so I thought I could fix that. along the way the Acer got bricked and now it is stuck at the recovery option. I stipped the head in the case screw so I cannot restore the original hardware just yet.

I am tring everything I can think of to get it to boot a recovery image but unless I can modify the script to reinstall it the non-standard hardware makes it difficult if not impossible.

I am still working on it.

By the way if any ACER product guys are listening, this very nice little C7 would be great with 16Gb ram and a nice SSD and running Ubuntu 12.04 with Xfce in 64 bit mode.
