I have nothing against your recommendation, but, what would be the advantage of purchasing your mother vs the one i have, which is 69 dollars cheaper. I'm honestly asking, since again, have been out of all this for a while, and can not find any obvious advantage.
[CPU] Intel Celeron E3400 Dual-Core 2.6GHz LGA-775 65W ($44 + $0)
[MOBO+iGPU] ZOTAC G45ITX-B-E X4500HD LGA-775 WiFi-N mITX ($109 + $5)
[CASE+PSU] Apex MI-008 Black mITX 250W ($45 + $0)
[FAN] SilenX IXP-74-09 120mm 800RPM 38CFM 9dBA ($13 + $0)
TOTAL: ($216)

THANKS!
well, its on you, but DDR3 ram is cheaper then DDR2..
shop around...
and the ZOTAC G45ITX-B-E has WiFi-N built-in
and also can play 1080P without requiring a video card,,,
oh yeah, ZOTAC G45ITX-B-E is Giga-Lan compatible,,,,

OK, wifi is an advantage, agree.
DDR3 vs DDR2 would be checking prices.
You imply that the Zotac NF610I-K-E would not be able to play 1080p? i assumed that would be more of a processor issue, being the celeron a 2.6 ghz proc.
This would be also important, but since i'm going to add one of the 3D capable cards, which run about for 60, that would make the Zotac NF610I-K-E + 3d card about the same price, but with 3d capabilities.
Besides what you already commented, do you see any DISadvantage or ISSUES with the Zotac NF610I-K-E plus a GT430 or HD6450?
ZOTAC G45ITX-B-E = LAN: 10/100/1000
ZOTAC NF610I-K-E = LAN: 10/100
ZOTAC G45ITX-B-E = PCI-Express 2.0x16: 1 (good for video cards)
ZOTAC NF610I-K-E = PCI-Express 2.0x16: none (not good for video cards)

This is not important for me.

This is very important

EDIT: it says: Slots: 1x PCI-Express x1 Slot, which is not very clear. You mean this is PCI Express 1.0 instead than 2.0?
The Zotac NF610I-L-E Desktop Motherboard - Nvidia - Socket T LGA-775 4GB DDR2 SDRAM 4 USB 2.0 Ports, costs $60, and it says: 1 x PCIe x16 Slot.

You read my mind, I was just checking that.
I love the idea of the E350 motherboard, but i'm a little worried about the E350 performance. So, this is why I'm looking for any alternative with bigger processor.
I would like to have 3D movies capabilities, since I have a 3D Ready Proyector.
I thought it would be easier to get an Atlhon or something similar, but it looks like not.
no,,, PCI-express is not 2.0
eskro Wrote:no,,, PCI-express is not 2.0
Crap, so what should it say? 2.0?
it doesnt say,,, it says PCI Express x16: 1
eskro Wrote:your cheapest way too get there...
I have researched this on AMAZON (newegg would not allow me to pay with my international CC, suckers).
Intel Celeron E3400 Processor 2.60 GHz 1 MB Cache Socket LGA775 $48
ZOTAC GeForce WiFi LGA 775 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard G45ITX-B-E $125
MI-008 Tower Black P4 Chassis with 250W Itx Psu+sata Power Supply $50
Scythe Slip Stream SY1225SL12SL - Case fan - 120 mm $12
Kingston ValueRAM 4 GB Kit (2x2 GB Modules) 1333MHz PC3-1066 DDR3 $29
SUB TOTAL $264
Now, since I want to be able to playback 3D to my Optoma GT700, I was wondering which one would be the best option:
Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 1 GB DDR3 HDMI/DVI-D/VGA PCI-Express Graphics Card 100322L $50
or
Evga GeForce GT 430 1 GB DDR3 PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card $63
I rather have the Sapphire, as it is cheaper, but if the evga is better, so be it.
Anyway, adding either card would, more or less make it around 310 + 50 for a HDD, around $360.
Ignoring the E350 ones, would this be the cheaper system?
