Kool set-up Blu..... but a few questions?
1. Why the Antec ISK300-150 over the Antec ISK-110 Vesa?(Since CPU power consumption is only 35w)
2. Is the 2120T that much better than the
2100? Both have HD2000 Graphics. Unless you chose the 2120 strictly due to it's power consumption or the fact that it is a newer processor. Y not stick with the cheaper 2100 until i3 I.Bridge is released?

Antec ISK300-150 is cheaper on Amazon......and yes, the Antec ISK-110 is another option for this build.....

It is strictly for low 35W power consumption.....and yes, there are powerful iVy's with 35W but it's very expensive.....
this is a interesting build. I'm after an mini-itx Intel setup. is it worth waiting for the ivy bridge to get hd4000? how much extra £ would I be looking at?
ivy bridge too pricey. AMD FTW

The 35W Intel iVy Bridge is not cheap-
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processors. Maybe, when they release the 35W i3 iVy Bridge it might be cheaper.....you might see it in Q3.....

For this discussion, is there a 35W AMD that can compete with i3-2120T?
......and the battle re-starts..

I hope that after they fought they drop their price.......
But for now, Intel Core i3-2120T is the king of all-in-one CPU w/ 35W......

Any news on the Trinity chips lately? I heard May as a release date but we are approaching half-way through the month with not much word.
I am waiting to see the price vs. performance on these and/or see how much the current models drop in price once the Trinity is released.
Last I heard is 15-May. I want an A10-5700.

A6-5400K or A8-5500 here, depends on $
Yeah depends on the cost for sure but the A8-5500 is what I have my eye on as well.
Hopefully the FM2 socket mobo's come out around the same time.
yeah, cant wait for pricing.
hope they dont end up being hyper pricey like Ivy Bridge,,,
