I'm looking to build a Sff computer and could use some help.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Web surfing,email,music. Nothing intensive.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Roughly $250, No
3) Where do you live? Ohio
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific. Case, psu, Motherboard, Cpu, onboard video preferred. Low power
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model. I have a sata 400gb HD and 2gb of ddr2 800
6) Will you be overclocking? No
7) What size monitor do you have or plan to have? it will be hooked up to a 1080p 32" lcd. This is the tricky part, I have to have DVi or hdmi
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? now
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc. Must have DVI and audio Line in, as i route my xbox 360 and ps3 sound though the pc.
The best i could come up with so far was, Shuttle k48 barebones with a Celeron 430, but i am unsure its going to be enough of a power reduction to be worth it. This would cost less than 200. I have also looked at the eee Box but i am unsure about line in with there documentation

My current rig is a q6600, 8800gts, 4gb ram, TB of HD space and 2 DVD drives and %95 percent of the time i just use it to listen to music and surf the web. So I'm looking for a drastic cut in power consumption.
If i have left anything out let me know, and thanks for the help.
