I have been wanting to do this for awhile, and now, it's finally getting done.
I have a Intel BOXD945GCLF2 Atom 330 Intel 945GC Mini ITX
I previously had it in a Antec P180 Mini, though it was rather space wasting, and it was taking up room anyway.
I did have a Antec Earthwatts 380 on there, which was like a waste, but the smallest, good name PSU I could find.
2 x 640GB independent WD SATA HDDs for storage, a dinky 20GB WD PATA for the OS.
Had 1GB RAM on there too, but this doesn't matter.
So, now, I'm starting to change that for good
First thing I did, got a new case for it. The CoolerMaster Elite 100.
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 100 RC-100-KKP3-GP Black Steel / Plastic MITX/MATX Slim Case Computer Case Flex ATX 150W, Active PFC Power Supply
I wanted something that is both wall mountable, and small retail space. Has a small 120w PSU as well, perfect, as it produces no more than 50W.
So, I buy it off BST from Aspire.
I only can fit one 3.5" HDD in there, but that would not matter much, as the other drive won't be used. The first one has all movies on it.
Then I needed a Slim DVD, so I buy one off Newegg for $25.
When said and done:
Next, I wanted adequate cooling on the lil Atom CPU. So I get a ZALMAN ZM - NBF 47. After a bit of bending, it fits perfectly.
Soon, to come, I want this PSU: Logic Supply - Leaders in Mini-ITX & Small Form Factor Solutions
To open up some space in the case. As the current is blocking my PCI port.
