I don't know stuff about those. I'll be using my hard drives and optical drive from my current computer. Almost decided on recycling RAM, but felt it's a bad idea. --- End quote --- With a computer that powerful, recycling HDD's isn't a good idea. Chances are you'll recycle a 5400 or 7200 RPM HDD, which is going to suck richard. Best bet is to boot from a 32GB SSD and then use your current HDD's as mass storage |

Mini-itx Intel Atom Very little noise Very low power (under 150w) dual cat-5 ethernet ports, 10/100, 10/100/1000 500GB 2.5" HDD No DVD drive Cabling is arse but it's the best I can do Front USB 3.0 port shall never work (because motherboard simply doesn't support) stuffty amount of RAM. It's really a media PC motherboard but it's got the things I need for really low power and low noise with no fans (no cpu fan, no graphics card fan etc). The NIC will be used for connecting to my development computer/raspberry pi while the main ethernet port will go to my room network switch (more computers, internet). |
