I've specced up this little number for my first HTPC.
- Asus AT5IONT-I Intel Atom D525 / NM10 Motherboard - £124.98
- Thermaltake Element Q Black with 200W PSU - £47.98
- Crucial 2GB DDR3 1066MHz/PC3-8500 Laptop Memory - £13.8 X 2 = £27.60
- Total = £200.56
To go with these which I already have:
- 1TB WD Caviar Green SATA-II
- Samsung SH-B123L/BSBP 12x BluRay ROM
Have I missed anything? Any thoughts on the setup? Unfortunately that's all my budget so if you suggest improving something I'm going to have to cut the cost elsewhere.
The case is not the greatest but I want something small and finding something small that can take a full size 5.25 optical drive has been a mission! I'm not sure about the psu either as I'm used to getting good quality branded psu's for all my desktop setups...
