Looking for advice on building a mini-ITX machine that can handle three monitors (mostly work related/multi-tasking; doubling as an HTPC, so some streaming). No real gaming. Hoping for something compact and quiet
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 600-700
No major parts preference beyond Intel. Already have OEM windows.
Overclocking: No / don't think so
SLI or Crossfire: No / don't think so
Monitor Resolution: 3x 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: Quiet PC, mostly Office applications, basic streaming and movie watching
I have a 120GB SSD that I will be using for the primary OS and applications.
Many thanks in advance!
