Kicking around the idea of building a low power/heat/noise (small footprint) inexpensive system for my sister and wanted to know what yall would recommend.
For the CPU, I was thinking of getting those Geode processors, but still have not found any available for sale plus some preliminary info points to the boards their built on are a tad pricy.
With the Geodes not currently a viable option, I am thinking of getting a mobile 2200 or 2400 XP and unclocking it to 1.0-1.5 GHz and lowering its core voltage....would this be a viable alternative?
What would yall recommend for power supplies, motherboards (micro-ATX or ITX), drives, etc that would not consume much power or dispel much heat that would not break the bank?
Thank you for your time.
