Hiya I'm looking for some opinions on builds for a new rig I basically want to use it for encoding vids iv'e bought a nice new iPad and would like to rip and encode my DVD collection.
I'm a bit behind on the state of current pc tech last build was an e8400 which sadly has encountered a few problems which I suspect to be memory related.
If it's possible I'd like the build to be compact gone are the days where I'm happy to look at a full tower system so something in matx format would be nice
I had looked into using a Mac mini to do it but being realistic I can't conceive it having the oomph or me having the patience for slow encodes.
I've currently got hdd,os,monitor,gfx only an 8800gtx but I don't play games these days, and a corsair h50 I'd like to use in the build just for cutting down on noise, oh and a psu
Anyway if anyone can help would be appreciated ta.
Oh I should add I'd like to spend in. The 400 to 500 region.
