So i'm probably going to chuck out my mum's old Trashiba laptop, and replace it with a nice little mini-ITX that hides somewhere on her desk. Mostly it just used for Internet, Outlook, and it is used allot for connecting to other computers via RDC. There are a couple queries I have.
The PSU: I hear mixed messages all over the place, about the Prodigy, about what PSU's fit in it, etc. I have just chosen a PSU that I think should fit. If someone can refer me to a Seasonic PSU, or something very reliable that would fit. Specifically a Fully Modular PSU.
GPU:For what she is doing, is the GPU I have chosen, a bit over the top? Will the computer be fine running the Intel Graphics?
Cooling:The H40 should fit fine?
Anything else, that you can reccomend would be great.
