I'm currently spec'ing out a build that is going to be replacing a laptop. I recently bought a Hp touchpad and find myself not using my laptop on the go anymore. However, I still need a computer that will travel to and from work, that can handle some light gaming.
Heres the current specs:
AMD Phenom X2 555
ASUS M5A78L-M LX (am3+ support for bulldozer is a plus)
8GB (4x2) Geil Value series DDR3 1333
250gb SATA 6.0gb/s HDD
Video card still up in the air.
Right now, I'm curious what my power draw would be with something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150545
OR
I can swap the processor for the A8 Llano and use the onboard video.
I'm also wondering, if anyone knows of a small form case that doesn't offer 5.25 drive bays that I could use until I'd be done fabricating the case.
Any tips and suggestions would be great.
