Hey guys,
I want to build a small Mini ITX box to connect to my TV which will be loaded with video (non HD) and audio. I have a few parts laying around which I would like to utilize in this build if possible, to save some money. I have the following: DVDRW (non SATA) and 250g HDD (non SATA). If these two parts can be utilized, then I"d like to.
Aside from that, my decisions are:
-Case (recommendations? APEX looks decent)
-CPU (ATOM processor board, $38 single Core Sempron (new AM3 45W), or A2 X2 (around $65)[/b][/b]-Memory required? 2g stick I presume?
Video: Onboard if it will suffice.
The Sempron for the price seems tempting, but I am not sure if any reasonably priced Mini ITX board will support it. Any thoughts?
Thanks
