first post, long time lurker. I'd like to hear an opinion about this build
Quiet PC Nofan A490S Silent Desktop
- Jonsbo UMX4 Zone Black Compact Midi Tower Aluminium Case
- ASUS PRIME H270-PRO LGA1151 ATX Motherboard
- Intel 7th Gen Core i7 7700T 2.9GHz 35W HD 630 8MB Quad Core CPU
- Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) 2400MHz Memory Kit
- Nofan CR-80EH Copper IcePipe 80W Fanless CPU Cooler
- Nofan P-500A Silent 500W Fanless 80+ GOLD PSU
same for disks, i'll be recycling my current four ssd
QuitePc.com sells this for about €1.172 (i'm in europe)
I'm currently on a nine years old Dell Dimension 9200, Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
It has been a surprisingly good machine, and 'almost quiet' too (after throwing away the dvd reader and installing ssd and a fanless gfx card)
I want to replace it because cpu and case fans are becoming noisy (or I'm becoming more picky) and of course cpu power is lacking.
I write code and occasionally tablet drawings and 3d model. Some gaming, but I don't expect to be able to run latest games.
I'm mostly interested in what you think about the above machine wrt to the price, or if you would go on a totally different route with that budget.
I'm keen to buy some pre-assembled cause I really don't want to worry about incompatibilities between components and such
thanks for whatever advice you might have
