Seasonic PSUs are incredibly reliable.

Hooray for Google Fiber coming to Atlanta, GA and shake up the stiff oligopolies there. Hoping there will be changes in the future on broadband pricing (hopefully lower instead of higher).

Okay the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 does not fit in the M1 since it sticks out at the top of the case. The spreadsheet says the NH-C12 fits in the case, but it doesn't at all. Need to find a replacement for the stock Intel heatsink. My mobo is an Asrock Z87E-ITX.

Just got myself the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 today to go along with the Asrock Z87E-ITX mobo. Now I have to wait next week to get the Silverstone ST45SF-G PSU from Amazon. Hoping to build it next week for my brother since he didn't have enough to buy a GPU.

Looking around to find the ST45SF-G PSU on Google. I click on shopping to see the PSU being sold at various stores, only to find that there is one site that sells it for $77.68. It's called TechCubicle, but the site looks really bland and there aren't that many offerings. I got suspicious that...

Yeah I bought it today after returning the one I bought yesterday. Price drops for popular Haswell CPUs. Anyone tried the Hyper 212 EVO on the AsRock Z87E-ITX to see if it fits in the M1?

Didn't know a 600W version would come out this year. Might as well wait and see.

Trying to find the Silverstone ST45SF-G PSU and PP05-E cable set. Lowest price I could find for the PSU is $94.99 at Amazon, but the cable set seems to have been backordered. Anyone know where I can find them in stock at the lowest price?

Thanks for the spreadsheet. Now I know that the Noctua C12 will fit on the Asrock Z87E-ITX.

These are the parts I'm getting for my brother: - Asrock Z87E-ITX mobo (bought already) - i7 4770K or S (haven't decided yet) - Noctua NH-C12P SE14 - 8GB Mushkin Redline CAS 7 DDR3 1600 RAM - Adata S511 120GB SSD - Silverstone ST45SF-G w/PP05-E cable kit - AMD or nVidia video card - ? Will I...

I'll probably wait for the new SFX PSU from Silverstone and the 290X since those video cards are hard to find.

Seems to be a digital currency mining rush anyway. They're hard to find and so expensive.

Probably have to watercool the 290X anyway in the M1, but have to look at the size limitations with custom coolers on the GPU.

Thanks for the suggestions. I want it to be simple since I don't know how to watercool yet. Guess I'll buy the CPU and mobo at Micro Center then.

This is my brother's PC. He's getting the money from his scholarship, but he definitely wants the 290X. I'll probably get the NH-C12P SE14 as the air cooler. For the PSU, definitely the Silverstone ST45-G PSU. As for the CPU and mobo, he wants the AMD FX, but I don't see any mITX motherboards...
