Just pulled the trigger on this build from newegg
Didnt get a PSU though, I want to experiment with a Pico PSU.
I am figuring at least 150w for this setup. It will probably have a nice sound-card added soon though, and it will have a 1tb WD Greendrive internally as well, I think. Also, 2 140mm fans.
It would be awesome if I could pull a max stock volts overclock on the i3 550, but at the same time I dont really have to OC it.The ram is 1.65v though.
What Pico + Brick would be a high-quality setup for this?
I am looking on Short-Circuit at this 150w brick and Pico 150XT, but they are sold out. mini-box doesnt have any good adapters im seeing (id like it to be fanless, and just be a low mantinence, reliable unit). It is going to be for a SFF general desktop build (outlook, google chrome, iTunes lossless encoding, HD youtube, some 1080P .mkv). Nothing really too strenuous really.
Any suggestions on where to look?? Should I get a Pico 160XT and get a brick elsewhere?
I dont like the brick with this combo because it has a small plug (longevity vs a DIN plug??)
Build:
A little overkill on the ram, but it is just too cheap to pass up nowadays
I am pissed that I couldnt get one of those crazy microcenter $130 I5 750's before I came to FL, but it would be overkill anyway.
EDIT:
The Lost Planet thing is a free deal with the X25-M (anyone wants it, ill sell it cheeeep)
