I've built myself a new media PC; here's the spec:
Streacom fc5 case (without optical drive)
Amd sempron 2 cores @2.5ghz
Gigabyte mini atx mobo am3
Pico 150w silent PSU
Geil ddr3 8gb @ 1333mhz cas 9-9-9-24 (1t)
2x ssd, one for os and one for storage with sata noise filters on each
Os is w8 64
First truly silent PC I've (not) heard.
Runs OS perfectly as we'll as Jriver without a hitch, I'm really happy with the case, not seen the CPU get hotter than 37c under a prime 95 load and it looks like part of the set up now
I couldn't resist the urge to tinker with the feet on the bottom as the metal cups that hold the rubber feet are a perfect fit for RDC cones, so it and its PSU are fully isolated now
Going from 4gb to 8 provided a nice boost to playing from memory, zero buffer time.
Anyone gone this route and taken it a step further with a linear PSU?
