So, we have had a PC in our giant bookcase, which we use to stream music while cooking, or socialising.
The occasional video/film or web browsing.

The PC used was originally on loan from work, but they have asked for it back, I did think along the lines of a raspberry pie or something, but a custom PC would look much cooler IMO and could probably used for more if needed.

So, could someone help spec out a replacement?

I was thinking along the lines of an I3 and SSD, but I3 seems a tad on the expensive side and perhaps over kill?

Would also like to replace the monitor attached too, with something along the lines of 24"

Needs to be Mini ITX and the maximum height of the case can be 13mm, ideally would prefer a white case as the bookcase is white. But not a problem if not.

For an OS, i was just thinking of using the Windows 10 Insider.
 
Well given its only a light usage PC, i was assuming around £300 i guess.
I was more going along the lines of get a rough cost of what it would for doing it properly and to a decent standard i.e no cheap power rate power supplies.
 
Ah okay.. Well I guess from reading you have no need for a dedicated GPU. Do you have a copy of Windows? Or need that in the £300?

Nah no dedicated GPU, I was planning on just using the Insider builds of windows 10, last time I checked, that was still free (correct me if im wrong)

Hmm, I guess something like this would suffice? https://uk.************.com/list/9NsdRG

Real struggle to fit it into £300! Quite the challenge haha.
