Hey everyone.
Well, after getting back into the whole PC thing, I built myself a giant computer in a Rocketfish case. It was nice, but my parents were complaining, so I stuck the components into an Antec Three Hundred. Sure, it's smaller, but it's still pretty damn big and is quite loud. I've decided to build a SFF mITX based PC.
Criteria:
-- LGA775. Must have. Going to be my main computer. Or at least sort of main. I don't know. Yeah, main computer.
-- Quiet.
-- Can't spit a ton of heat out the back of it. My room is the warmest in the house already.
-- I would somehow like to stick a real GPU (lowend, just better than integrated) in it. I was told you could cut out the back of the PCI-E slot on the mobo and use an 8500GT or something. I don't know if this is possible or not.
-- I would like for it to be small. Veeeery small. ASAP, I guess you could say.
I've been looking at this motherboard.
ZOTAC NF630I-F-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7100 Mini ITX WIFI Intel Motherboard
$69.99 AR. Looks pretty good and has wifi too.
That's the only part I have the remotest clue about.
If somebody could help me, I would really appreciate it. I understand talking to n00bs can be excruciating, but I'll do my best to keep up![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks!
