    Media center build log!

    Finally got round to taking some pictures, now before anyone says i know the 460 wont fit, i have a plan for that

    Some pictures of what the idea is looking like so far!





    Although not final placement this is the idea, as the machine will be playing alot of racing games and sim like games (gf loves the sims!) it needs to pack a punch

    So expect an update in a few weeks with how i have managed to fit that gtx in there! muwahahaha!

    Soon I will have for sale a XFX 450W PSU (by the end of the week, downgrading my PC cause it will carry no GPU ever and idle most of the times) or I can strongly suggest be quiet L8 300W PSU (real quiet and amazingly efficient even at low load, chose it for my PC plus custom NAS for that reason).

    Edit: http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/4683...ent-conclusion

    Edit: be quiet 300W BN220 is for £34 either from Scan or CCL.
