Hi, I'm looking to buy a barebone PC and I can't make my mind up between the following two:
Shuttle DS81
Zotac ZBOX EI750
The Shuttle DS81 appears to be better quality: the Zotac seems to have a major design flaw i.e. really noisy.
The Zotac is more expensive, but it includes the CPU and a decent integrated GPU (Intel 4770R with Iris Pro 5200), which is better than any CPU you can install on the Shuttle DS81 at the moment since it has the limit of 65W DTP (that would be the Intel 4790S).
Any thought?
P.S I'm happy with an integrated CPU, because in my experience the CPU is the only component I never upgrade. By the time the CPU is obsolete everything else is usually obsolete as well so it will be time to replace the whole system.
