hi all, I am doing a cubit3 based config (I already haave the box). I would like to go for a C2D T7400 or T7500. Which mother board would you recommend for such a config ? That box is my main computer, so I am planning to add an nvidia 8400 or 8500 + I am running Linux only in it (not very useful detail there but ...) Thx for your help Cheers.
After few day of research I'll go for a Commell LV677 + T7500. But now I am looking for an heatsink, any recommendation ?
http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=32 Cheaper. Both of them only use onboard audio mind, that puts out an idea of using a discrete graphics card. You should get a heatsink with the board, but it will be small and noisy. Either Kustom or Mini-itx.com could help you source a replacement easier.
Not reeally cheaper, and no PCI-E and no regular DDR2 (sodim). findinf heatshink for s479 is very hard, Kustom has one but passive (not sure it is enougth) and Mini-itx.com none. For the GC I am planning to go with a 8600GT.
