cjloki Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I'm thinking of building a mini or sub desktop for my work that takes up minimal space, uses less power, is quiet, and most of all is inexpensive(like $200 or less). the main use will be ms office stuff, word/excel etc, web surfing, occasional video watching. i think the main attribute ought to be: cheap to build, compact design/ small form factor and unobtrusive... I'm thinking dual core whatever ibm/amd cpu?, maybe mini itx form factor... all suggestions will be given due consideration... thanks all ! cj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
