nugga Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Hello everybody. Unfortunately i have not followed the hardware news for some time now, so i'm pretty lost at choosing the right parts, maybe some of you guys can help me? Well first of all budget is around 350-400usd, which ain't a alot, but my requirements are pretty low too. I want my system to play very big high bitrate 1080p movies(25GB) in a smooth solid quality, and then i want a 1TB 3,5" harddrive and support for atleast one more. I don't care about blu-ray drives nor very nice audio quality, cause i'm only playing in stereo anyway. Support for a sound card upgrade later will though be appreciated much I need only 1 HDMI port and 1 gigabit ethernet too If needed i'll build the system myself, but a cheap prebuild system is okay too. Like everybody else i appreciate a silent system, but again my budget is tight so i might have to compromise. Thanks a lot for the help - Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fogel Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Heya How about something like this? You could go with 2GB of RAM and save $6 ...but seems like a shame not to double it up for only $6 more. This is probably a better PSU but it would put you past your budget. - MB & CPU » ASUS F1A75-M FM1 AMD A75 + AMD A4-3400 Llano 2.7GHz ($145) - HDD »»»»»» Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache ($137 ...w/ shipping) - RAM »»»»»» Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB ($19) - PSU »»»»»» COOLER MASTER Elite 460W ATX12V V2.31 Power Supply ($33 ...w/ shipping ...$23 w/ $10 MIR) - CASE »» »» SILVERSTONE Black Aluminum MILO HTPC Case ($75 ...w/ shipping) Total = $409 EDIT: BAH! I had this at $399 till I realized the motherboard didn't have HDMI. This one does. If you live in a tax free state than $409 should be your out the door cost including all shipping costs. With the MIR I guess it still comes to $399 Edited January 26, 2012 by Fogel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugga Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Hey thanks a lot Fogel, the system looks really nice I'm living in Denmark and we have a 25% tax, but i took this into consideration before i posted my budget. Anyways i'll go have a look on the price in Denmark, maybe i'll go with a 1TB drive instead of a 2TB. And if somebody else have any suggestions, please post - Martin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nugga Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks a lot, looks much better than I expected. Can you recommended some fans maybe? And what about power usage when the computer is idle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonerboy779 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Sorry for triple post. Mobile interface didn't work too well for me Haha don't worry and I have recommended some they are embedded in the words high quality and quiet. Bare in mind the noctuas I linked cost a lot and you could go with something else like the fractal design ones which while maybe not performing as well due to lower rpm and much lower cfm are cheaper and slighty quieter (although take manufactures ratings with a grain of salt) If it ended up being 4 fractal silent vs 2 noctua at roughly the same price as it has here I would say fractal although I can look some more tomorrow if you want.
