Hey all, thinkin about starting a new media PC. Gonna play back mostly high-def MKVs and listen to music. Most likely going to go with an Athlon II x2 245 for 59$, probably a fanless 5670 ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131348&Tpk=HD%205670 ) and thats all I have figured out so far. Might go with 2x1 ram, possibly 2x2gig but its not really necessary for what I wanna do. I DO need the videocard however because onboard video has trouble playing high-def video content and rendering stylized subs at the same time (mainly for my anime, also watch some foreign films).
What PSU should i go with for this build? It barely draws any power at all, and the thing i value most is how quiet the psu will be.
Theres an Antec Earthwatts 380 for 40 bucks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371033
and the only fanless psu on newegg is 120 after shipping http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104035
Any recommendation on a quiet PSU is welcome! anything over 400 watts is overkill since my system load will be probably barely over 100watts, but if its quiet ill look into it.
thanks everyone
