Mini ITX Setup

Addicted · 29 Mar 2009 at 11:04

I've been wanting to make a mITX setup, though i've been finding it pretty difficult to find the actual components. I've picked the motherboard as being the Intel one with the Atom 330 processor but then i cant find any suitable power supply or housing on OcUK

This probably isnt allowed but does anyone know of a trusted UK site that deals with these types of things. I was looking to get a picoPSU but i really have had no luck at all!
Thanks,

How about that?

You can get a Zotac mobo that will take a "proper" CPU on the site too.

You could try looking at PSUs meant for in-car PCs. These tend to be tiny and very efficient, you can use a wall-wort type PSU to get the 12V (will need to be able to supply a few amps though)
The M3-ATX is a very good choice and is definately available from a UK supplier.

picopsu uk

into yahoo works for me. I've certainly used two of the places with itx in the name, I may have used all three I can see in the first 7 results.

thanks for the case link that is absolutely fantastic!
I want the Intel board with the atom cpu as i know it's really low power usage, and plus i cant afford to buy another cpu

It will just be used as a mini file server (mainly for downloading to cut back on power usage at night).
