Soldato
Another SG05B spec, For Photography
Hi all, Ive been out the Small form PC loop for a long time now. My mum asked for a new PC recently for photo editing. Must be: small, quiet. I've suggested a few things, the e-IPS monitor, the 1.5tb HD, and the Q9550. As the mobo has onboard graphics and not used for gaming, ive left the GFX card out.
Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.83GHz 12MB-cache
Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi Mini-ITX
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-Bit
Silverstone Sugo SG05B Mini-ITX Case
Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5
Samsung SN-S082H/BEBN 8x DVD±RW IDE Slimline Drive (Black) - OEM
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Low Profile CPU Cooler (Socket LGA775)
Akasa Slimline Optical SATA Cable (AK-CB050)
The total for this setup is £868.53. if anyone can suggest alternatives or changes, please help me out. If you can shave a few £££ off it would help out a lot.
eg, the Kingston hyperX ram is cheaper, is the Corsair worth more cash?
Any help would get a Ecookie.
thanks all.
EDIT: Would all components fit in the case? and what would airflow/cooling be like with the non-oem heatsink + Q9550.
