So ive been kinda bored lately and wanted to build a new since that is always fun.
Sadly I don't have tons of extra funds (about $110 in paypal) and I don't want to part out my current rig either.
So I thought of a great idea. Why not build a lower power mini-itx rig for under $200!
I thought about picking up an atom 330 setup but the atom is just to slow in my opinion so I am going with a low power celeron 775 and 775 mini itx board. I now have about $80 left in paypal and I could probably part with another $50~75 of my own cash.
Here is what I have:
-35w Celeron 440 on the way (thanks dark2099)
-2x 1gb of cheap ddr2 ram (thanks dark2099)
-Stock intel heatsink
What I need:
-Case
-PSU
-HDD
-Motherboard
For the motherboard I was thinking Zotac NF630I-D-E for $47.99 shipped after MIR:

For the case I want to go as small as possible. Don't even need dvd drive.
I was liking this one but it is a little spendy compared to other psu/case combos:

HDD doesn't really matter. Any 80gb+ Sata laptop drive will do.
And then probably windows 7 for the OS.
What do you guys think? And of course I will post pics.
