Hey all, I've just got a last minute Christmas request for some bargain bin SFF web browsing machines. I'm going to base them on mini ITX boards, obviously the cheapest way to do this is going with an integrated CPU but the lowest spec that I've built a Mini ITX machine in to date has been powered by an 1155 i3 processor. Can anyone recommend me a good quality but affordable (£90 absolute max) ION/Atom etc board that I could base these on? Thanks!
I've been looking to get the one up from this board which doesnt have onboard graphics, should be a capable beast though for browsing. plus a passive heatsink means cool and silent. http://www.scan.co.uk/products/zota...(18ghz)-ddr2-sata-ii-3gb-s-graphics-on-board-
For that money you could get cheap h61 motherboard like the MSI H61I-E35 and Celeron or Pentium cpu. Considering that it makes zero sense to go with an Atom.
Oh holy crap, you're right! I completely forgot about the H61 chipset! Someone give me a slap for being stupid
