Aiyah, you spoil the surprise!

Need help on deciding which itx mobo and processor i should go for!

At first planned to get a zotac g43 itx with a e6xxx or e5xxx c2d chip, but since im going to get a h50 in the future, im going to do some overclocking.

From what I heard, the zotac g43 itx is not a good board for overclocking.

So for now, Im having troubles deciding.. My budget for the chip + mobo is 200-250. Looking at a i3 + gigabyte h55, or a zotac 9300 + a c2d e6xxx or e5xxxx.

What do you guys think?

[avexdevil]

just go for the newer build i3 + h55. got room to upgrade if you see the need in the future.

exxx series super outdated alr.

I have just noticed that the J&W MINIX 6150SE-UC3 only supports HyperTransport 1.0, so if using an AM3 cpu, will there be any noticeable performance issues?

oh hai..



What's in the box?



Oh noes, is it a mac mini?



All the way from china straight...so need passport to enter singapore..



to be continued..

As far as overclocking, I think G43 ain't that bad but it all depends on how far you want to push the CPU. It's def the cheapest solution among the 3 option you are having here. But since Zotac H55 A-E is selling cheaper than the Gigabyte H55N this Comex, you might want to buy the board during this time.

Lastly, Zotac 9300 board itself cost more than the H55 boards cos of the superior chipset (the on board VGA is way better).

The board shuts off after 10 mins or so with the raid card attached

Upon closer look -

Power button and LED outlet -



Tiny outlet for your IR reciever -



Let's open up the belly of the beast...



The lid is screwless.. nice finishing but abit unpractical, shall ask how to open up the casing when you install the stuff inside already..



The ODD and hdd cage -



The Power switch -



Closer look at the IR mounting -

[weib]

let's flip it over -



Nice shiny isolation feet with foam dampening -



Last but not least, all the accessories that you need..



Overall evaluation, the quality is on par and it is very sleek.
I was very suprized with the size, almost like a bento set.. none of my friends i showed it too believed that it was a computer casing..

Update BIOS without RAID card. Then try putting it in again? If cannot, let me try.

To Weib: Hopefully the case can hold more than Atom based setup
