Need mITX help

Solaris17 · Aug 20, 2010

I need to build a decent but not to powerful mITX PC for some reviews ill be doing. I just need to do basics. acoustic. heat ertc. so it needs to be powerful enough to meet the testing requirements. but not hurt my wallet. ideas?

What about:

i3 530 - 114
ECS H55H-I - 78
2GB DDR3 1600 cl8 - 60-65
IN WIN BP655.200BL Black + 200W Power Supply - 45
640GB WD Blue - 50-60
Generic DVD Multi drive - 20

Prices from the egg. It'd be around 400 total. Too much?

You could probably save some money going 775 and getting a second-hand e7400 or something, but I'm pretty sure the H55-H57 is the best value/performance mITX platform atm.

Also, you could pick up a SGO5 instead of the cheaper slim case, so that you have the option of taking advantage of the pci-e 16x slot and adding dedicated graphics if you get the urge....

Anyway, just some ideas. GL

I believe that the Gigabyte H55N-USB3 is be a better choice for the MoBo, especially that I've seen videos of it being tortured by reviewers and it passed all tests remarkably. Other components seem fine.
