Help Building A Mini-ITX System Please
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2014 4:54 am
I'd like to ask for some advice on building a mini-itx machine please.
I am looking for the most powerful mini-itx system I can build that can remain fanless but also around £250. I would definitely prefer a all in one board that already has CPU and heatsink built in rather than messing around putting that together too. Price is definitely a major factor here. It'll be used for Linux, perhaps running a small website, NFS and messing around with other stuff.
I was looking into the Gigabyte GA-C1037UN board with a M350 case and a Pico PSU and AC Adapter. However I then found the Antec ISK 100 case which comes with a similar external PSU and works out a bit cheaper.
Do you think I can run this fanless? I would also put in a 2.5 SATA drive.
Are there any other options that are more powerful and can still be run fanless (and are easily available in the UK)?
