Specs:
Motherboard: HP/Asus MOCA-AR Calcite Mini-ITX (approx $20 ebay)
Processor: Intel Core T2400, 1.83Ghz, laptop/mobile 478m/479 socket. Cost: $5 on ebay
Heatsink: Startech socket 370/A heatsink. Cost: $8
Ram: perfectly matched mobile ddr2, 1GBx2, one 667mhz (salvaged from netbook), one 533mhz (purchased back in the day for $20).
Graphics: Intel GMA 950, integrated
Sound card: Integrated (maybe alc889 or something similar?)
Hard drive: Samsung HS081HA 80gb 3600RPM, 80gb iPod classic salvage
ODD: none
PSU: 8 year old+ Enertec Corportation 300W Intel ATX spec 2.03, $10 ebay (380w raidmax seen in pictures, it was a temp pull from my friend's desktop).
Case: igloo Little Playmate Ultra (salvaged from my 10 year old lunchbox/cooler/box/whatnot).
Now what you have been waiting for... the pictures!
Best case ever. Idle temps:
Full load hasn't been tested because this is meant to work as a server/media box, so no need for stress!
Coolers like these are amazing for itx builds. The more recent elite series can probably easily hold a gtx580 or 6990 without issues.
But on a more serious note, I desperately need funds to finish this build, along with my other itx build (celeron g530, apex mi008, radeon 4650 1gb) due to recent issues with my bank account refusing to connect to my paypal. Any help is much appreciated, and if you would like to donate, please drop me a private message. Many thanks, and I know that I'm an extreme noob, but I've privately built and modded pcs, laptops, and the like for about 4 years.
Thanks for viewing my thread!
