Hi TH,
I have a problem, obviously.
I'm looking to build a Mini-ITX HTPC in a Custom machined C64 case...and it's also going to be used for my audio production...
http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx
That guy sells the cases bare bones with just a card reader. When I asked the merchant about the PSU he said it needs an external one.
Basically what I want to do is just be able to play my emulators and stream video to my TV/s..and run a DAW with a couple midi controllers, 2 HD's 1 internal and 1 external...
This is what I am looking to throw in it..
Intel Core i5-2405S Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz
MOBO - BIOSTAR TH61ITX+RCH LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS (Should I opt for the H67 chipset??)
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
Will be using onboard lan, audio etc etc...and I won't be gaming online or overclocking at all...
BUT
I have never built a unit in my life with an external. And when I look on newegg.com all they have is a huge server external PSU. I really need help in this facet of the build
Can somebody give me some advice.... and/or rate my build..
Thanks in advance!!
