My cheap lan / spare PC

[sockky]

Built a PC last night, really pleased with it, considering the price. I will be using it as a spare PC for when mates come round and to take with me to i49 this year.

The specs are as follows;

i3 3220
7850 windforce - B grade
8GB HyperX
P8H61-I
Bitfenix prodigy - B grade (really wasn't as small as I though, but a lot smaller than my phantom. )

All in all, it came to a grand total of £427.93

The build is really clean and looks pretty nice. I'll upload some Pictures for you lot tonight when I get in.

Here it is, simple, cheap and effective

The only times its loud is when I boot it up. Been testing it on several games and its seems quiet enough at around 40% fan speed.

Stays cool too, idles at around 24c and yet to see it above 54c. For £129 I really, really cant complain.

its got an ASIC of 86.6% too, really tempted to push it even though I won't see a huge benefit being on an i3.

anyway, maybe I can get a video up just to show the noise.
