Hi guys
A while ago I posted about downsizing from big noisey PC to small form factor PC.
There were many great options and in the end I couldn't decide. I have sold off some gear and now have a bit of look to play with.

In the summer I recently got a great deal on a HP small buisness desktop and was happily using as media server, however it became my desktop PC. And it has been great! However I just got a OCZ agility 3 and the sata controller is bottling the speeds.

I want to put a better MBoard in it and put my I7 chip back?

Is this possible guys? thanks

nice so i7 can go in there? looking at it there is the extra 8 power slot as well as the main 24 bank? the PSU in the machine currently dont got that? Could be a show stopper coz I guess its a HP specific PSU? Unless theres such a thing as mATX power supplies?

Whats the best memory config for that and i7 920?

Thanks! :_)
 
I remember ages ago I had loads of probs with a board when I used 4 pin where there should have been 8 even with no overclock, it was hidden under a black cover, when I got that power sorted all the problems went? Unless this is different?I'm tempted to start ALL Over again. I still have my i7-920, my aim is to have the smallest quiestist PC, but I want 6gbps and some REAL uSB 3, and 8 gigs of the fastest ram the board can take...:-0
