So I’m blindly following this YouTube video with the ‘interesting’ flute music (a serious enthusiast is building a mini-ITX box with a Windows 7.4 Experience Index):
-
ASUS AM3 AMD 880G HDMI USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 ($105.60): I’m a little concerned about going back to AMD but then the whole Win-Tel thing is kind of over…
-
Corsair XMS3 8 GB 1333 MHz PC3-10666 240-Pin DDR3 Memory Kit CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 ($47.99)
-
Zotac GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB 384-bit (772MHz/4008MHz) Graphics Card ZT-50101-10P ($489.99)—the most expensive part: I’ve resisted for years buying into this heat.
-
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor (HDT55TFBGRBOX) ($149.99)—clearly the enthusiast with the YouTube.com video chose this for the overclocking stuff: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Six Core Processor Unboxing…
-
Lian Li (PC-Q08B, PC-Q08-B) Aluminum Mini Tower Computer PC Case- Mini ITX Chassis, With USB 3.0, BLACK ($118.99)Next:
-
ASUS M4A88T-I Deluxe AM3 AMD 880G HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX AMD Motherboard ($124.99)—got an ATX motherboard by a crass mistake.
-
Intel 320 Series 160 GB SATA 3.0 Gb-s 2.5-Inch Solid-State Drive ($299.99)—The second most expensive part: I might pass on this… Are Flash / SSD Hard Drives Safe? Maybe not… How Long Will Your SSD Last?Intel 320 Series Mainstream Solid State Drive SSD Unboxing…
-
Sony Optiarc CD/DVD Burner ($35.99) or Sony Optiarc 8X SATA DVD+/-RW Slim Drive without Software AD-7700S-01 ($41.74): actually, this was on the list: Sony-NEC Optiarc BC-5600S—but I can’t find it.
-
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 All in One High-performance CPU Cooler CWCH50-1 ($66.27)
-
Scythe Slip Stream Kaze Maru2 140 series SM1425SL12M 140mm Case Fan ($12.99)
-
Nanoxia PWMX 3-Pin to 4-Pin PWM Converter/Fan Speed Controller ($12.99)
-
Scythe SY1212SL12L 120mm Case Fan ($12.99)2011-10-07 Update:
-
Enermax MODU87+ EMG700AWT ATX12V and EPS12V Power Supply ($178.99)—typical: I overlooked the obvious.
-
Asus 24x DVD±RW Drive DVD-RAM/±R/±RW 24x 8x 16x (DVD) 48x 32x 48x (CD) Serial ATA Internal OEM DRW-24B1ST (Black) ($20.99)—I incorrectly assumed that the optical drive had to be slim or notebook sized. The Lian Li enclosure clearly supports full-sized optical drives.
-
SILVERSTONE SDP08 3.5 to 2 X 2.5-Inch Bay Converter ($7.99×n)—I’m catching on to the new style: I’m going to need these for the SSD and the Scorpio.### Related Links
