Was so happy when i saw eskro's tip about the upgradeable power brick for Antec ISK 300-65. (thanks eskro )
I've been looking for such a case, with that type of fanless PSU, so I've decided to built
a setup based on that nice case
So far, this is what I've come up with:
Case: Antec ISK 300-65
Mobo: ASRock H67M-ITX
CPU: Intel Core i3-2120T Sandy Bridge 2.6GHz
SSD: Samsung 830 Series MZ-7PC064D 64 GB
Mem: Kingston HyperX Blu 4GB (2 x 2GB)
OS: Debian (Thinking of installing Ubuntu, because of better multimedia packages support). But no Windows for me.
It's running 24/7/365, running Postfix, Apache, MySQL, Samba etc... (that's why I chose the 35w version of the i3 CPU).
My goal is, for building this myself instead of f.ex. buying a Zotac ID82, to have some flexibility, low noise and low power options.
Got some questions for this setup, I hope you guys can help me with
1) I wan't to try out the Intel HD Graphics, but if it doesn't turn out well, I wan't to be able to
put an discrete Nvidia fanless graphics card in it. The board has a PCIe x16, but will a GT210 or maybe
a GT430 fit in the case?
2) After reading eskro's and others recommendations of the Scythe BIG Shuriken 2, I would really like this in my setup.
But it doesn't seem to fit? http://www.itxgamer.com/motherboards/asr...-container
Comment nr 2 states, that it won't fit, because it will block the PCIe slot, but that theres a slight chance, that it could fit with Intel DH67CF mobo.
Anyone tried this?
If not, is there any other cooler, smaller, which will fit, and is almost as good as the BIG Shuriken 2? Recommendations?
3) Will this be more noiseless, than the Asrock ION 330?
4) With the above setup, the original 65w should be fine right? (superb that I can change it, if I put af discrete card in there :-) )
Thanks
