Hi. I built this unit to use as a music server, but I no longer need it.
It is built around a VIA C7 processor @ 2 Ghz. I have fitted a brand new 500Gb SATA HDD and installed Windows 7 professional (for testing purposes only).
It is fitted with 1Gb of RAM, the maximum the board will address. Also, the original PSU has now been replaced with a low consumption 80W unit that uses an external in-line box and an internal smoothing circuit. I have also fitted a high speed DVDRW (SATA). Also, I have changed the CPU fan for one that is quieter than the original. The case used is this one...

The board is this one..

A couple of things.. the 'flap' covering the DVD draw sticks open sometimes, I have not got round to sorting it! The power connector for the new PSU I have fitted to the blanking plate for the PCI slot - so if you want to fit a PCI card, you will have to refit it elsewhere. The unit is running W7 well, if not at lightening speed, as you might expect! I installed Vortexbox to use it as a server, or you could use FreeNAS etc.
The unit is working perfectly, and still have the plastic wrapping on the case. I would prefer NOT to post this if possible.
I would hope to get £100 for the PC.
**WILL SWAP FOR A BERESFORD OR SIMILAR WITH VOLUME CONTROL**
Thanks.
The 'mark' you can see on the right edge of the caes is the plastic wrapping, not the case itself.

I still have the original box and packaging for the case.
