I wanted to build a mini ITX system that performed about as good as my Q9450 or better, yet used less power and was small/new.
Here are some pics of the build:
Boxes (cdrom is largest box)
Motherboard
Heatsink
HSF Tight fit
Putting PSU in
Vid card in after modifying HSF
matx on left, full atx on right
Finished pics:
Inside
Back
Front
Benchmark results:
Compression
2hr+ kitchen sink
Power Usage (cpu + mem loaded):
A8-3850:
Idle 53W
Load 99W
Q9450 power usage (same psu):
Idle 97W
Load 157W
