Spec me a VERY LOW power ITC Build Please.

This PC should be able to run windows 7 and any future updates/service packs.
As it will be on all 24/7 it must be very low power - the lowest i can get away with.
Standard onboard graphics and sound will suffice.
At least have 1 HDMI port.
Preferably an ITC build.
I think most Mobo's have enough of what i need, what i really am not sure about is the is the power aspects.

If you need any more info feel free to ask.
Thanks

i'm not sure what an ITC PC is, but it sounds like it doesnt need a great deal of computing power. perhaps less than a HTPC even.

if its low power your after then this will be perfect:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus AMD E35M1-M PRO AMD Hudson - micro ATX £109.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DL002) £92.99
1 x Corsair Builder Series CX 430W V2 '80 Plus' Power Supply (CMPSU-430CXUKV2) £37.99
1 x BitFenix Merc Alpha Gaming Case - Black £32.99
1 x Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9AD3B1K2/4G) £23.99
1 x LiteOn IHAS124-19 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM (Version B - with new Firmware) £16.99
Total : £329.94 (includes shipping : £12.50).

if you want the PC to be really small i could rearrange the build so that its mini ITX with a case to match. i could also pick out a much more expensive HTOC style case if you would be interested

the PSU is complete overkill for this, but its the cheapest good quality PSU that OcUK sell

Sorry, i meant MINI ITX build, Gawd knows what i was thinking of..ITC lol.
Dosent need much power at all, enough comfortably run windows 7 or 8 and one main Trading application.....not very intensive at all. Emphasis really is on the LOW POWER...thanks once again

go with seraphs build but with the cheaper 4GB kingston 1600Mhz RAM then (and possibly the DVD drive thats the same price but on pre order)
