If you think they arent the best parts, i could get a quieter part or i could get them cheaper elsewere please post.
Thanks
 
That's a fine build. Two things I would suggest is maybe an extra gig of RAM (1 gig doesn't hold much these days even without gaming) and changing the hard drive from a spinpoint to a Seagate or WD. A little more reliable than Samsung from my experience.
 
do you want it small as well as for a little extra you could get mini-itx which are completely silent as the case radiates the heat from the components like one huge heatpipe system, you can get this in micro-atx form-factor aswell but mini-itx is just 6"x8"
 
hi thanks for your replies.
Im based in the UK , can you reccomend any good places to buy itx cases and which motherboards would fit these cases? Thanks
 
i took a look at the online store on mini-itx.com, it seems very expensive...
 
...because they have a specific purpose, and they're smaller than normal motherboards. Their purpose is for embedded computer systems, I believe.
 
would it be worth it orderng a pc like this:
http://www.fit-pc.com/specifications.htm
of that site...

or

where can i get hold of the mainboards like the ones on this page:
VIA EPIA SN-Series Mini-ITX Mainboard - VIA Technologies, Inc.

If i could get hold of that motherboard would this work
CASE: mini-itx.com - store -Noah 3988 Mini-ITX Case - Black/Silver
PSU : mini-itx.com - store
MEMORY:mini-itx.com - store (1GB)
HARD DRIVE:mini-itx.com - store

80GB Seagate 2.5" SATA 5400RPM Hard Drive - 8MB Cache

DVD Drive : Optiarc AD-7633A Slimline 8X8 DVD±RW/DL/RAM LabelFlash Slot Loading Black Drive - OEM - Ebuyer

Would all those compnonets work together?
Thanks
