Need Help Choosing Hardware for a "Green" Mini Computer
Hi Seven Forums,
Last year I built my first PC running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I really enjoyed it and I'm looking to build another computer. I'm looking to build a small, quite and low energy consuming computer.
I'm aware that it's small size and hopefully low power consumption that the choice of hardware, performance and speed will be constrained. I would however pay a premium for better components to get the best performance and speed to power consumption ratio.
I don't want a fan and I don't need an optical drive. I would like usb 3.0 as I have a few 3.0 externals and HDMI out but it's not esseintal
Size wise I'd be looking for that would fit into a briefcase or bag. The smaller the better. I would spend £1000 up but I don't think I'll have to (hopefully).
What would you buy if you were me?
I'm asking this here as I read this forum a lot. I would like to say I'm not dead set on usising Windows I may use Linux sorry.
Thanks
