Well I should’ve known, after being happy with my mITX system for about 2 years, the decision to add a graphics card has had the knock on effect of an entire system upgrade!
First there was the new case, to go from 120w to 200w (although the case PSU turned out to be 300w!), this enabled me to add a Sapphire HD6570 1GB GDDR3 card.
It should’ve stopped there…
But now I’ve started selling my old kit, grabbed 4GB DDR3, and an i5 2400 CPU from the MM, plus a new motherboard from OcUK.
Installation is tonight, all that is left of my old system is the HDD!
Oops!
Not a bad bit of business though, once all my old bits are sold, the upgrade will have cost approx £120 in total.
