So I received a piece of junk from ibp[Spent $1000+ (((] and decided to just return instead of let them "fix" it. I decided instead of chancing breaking problems with shipping (which was their thought) I'd just do it myself.

Anyways here are the components I've picked out. Any advice would be great especially looking to make sure everything is compatible. I'm pretty sure it all is, but wouldn't mind a second opinion. Thanks.

You don't have a processor or motherboard.

The psu is only 150W, but the good news is you can't fit anything else in that 2.7" x 10" x 12" case lol.

Add an i5 540 and the Gigabyte itx mobo, and you'll have a pretty good non-gaming system that you can actually attach to the back of a monitor.

I built one for my wife, with an SSD and a small 2.5" HD, though a 3.5" would easily fit. Its quick, quiet, and runs very cool as we use it standing on its side.

twoboxer i think it showed what you had in your cart lol =p

ontopic: Modular power supplies save headache and cable management issues, if it's within your budget you could find a modular psu for not that much more

btw for $10 more you can get a 500watt psu with that case. might be worth purchasing and selling to a friend/2nd build/craigslist
