How does this Office Build Look ?

How does this office build look ? This is going to be a Point of Sale PC.

1. Can't decide on a cheap case.

2. The PC is going to be running about 6 different software at the same time. That processor should be enough right ? other 65W processors are not much faster than this ?

3. Any cheaper PSU , don't know if ATX12V should be good or i need EPS12V PSU.


I'll be using hard disks from the old Dell Optiplex GX280 and maybe RAM too.

7750 Kuma is $60, which is much faster than the 4850e.

i'm worried if the board can handle the 95W TDP

If you keep the computer under a table, pick a case with USB ports on top, front (not side front). Something like this (not really looks like an "office computer", but ....)

I'm not sure about that psu (OCZ StealthXStream), you might want to consider a Corsair.
CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W

Another Corsair to look at:
Corsair 400CX 400W PSU - $50

The above Corsair is of far superior quality than that StealthXStream PSU.

I recommend this case:
Cooler Master Elite 335 RC-335-KKN1-GP ATX Case - $45

Hmm doesn't look like that mobo supports the X3 7750 even though it supports all of the other 95W Phenom derived CPUs:

thanks for the PSU. but it doesn't have that EPS12V power connector, do you think the 7750 will be fine without it ?

and cpu support is a big concern now

The 400CX does come with a EPS12V power connector. It's called the 8Pin CPU Power connector in the newegg pics and it's listed on the Corsair website:
