HTPC-ish dedicated Dolphin box?

[Uplift]

I got that list from overclockers.co.uk it comes to £482.19

I usually use scan as well, but i find it harder to navigate and the design is horrible.. i'll move over to scan when i know what i'm looking for and compare prices.

I generally don't use it to compare specific products, because I either know what I want, or ask people here if it's a brand vs brand thing.

Also, I just checked what it would cost to remake my PC there (using the closest equivalent GPU), and it came to £1100. I then made an as-similar-as-possible system at Scan for £850. You may have more wiggle-room than you think.

I managed to shave a few quid off using scan: £462.75

Although: I couldn't find the same or equivalent graphics card on scan so that price is the same and not sure if HDD will need changing, depending on what case i go for.

400W Silverstone Strider SST-ST40F-ES, 80% Eff', 80 PLUS, SLI/CrossFire, EPS 12V, Quiet Fan, ATX v2.3, PSU

Intel Core i5 4440, S 1150, Haswell, Quad Core, 3.1GHz, 3.3GHz Turbo, 1100MHz GPU, 31x Ratio, Retail
Corsair Memory Vengeance Low Profile Jet Black 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 CAS 11 Dual Channel Desktop

Seagate 1TB SATA 3 Performance Hard Drive OEM ST1000DM003

Total cost with cable management kit, bluetooth adapter and shipping: £528.64

Would have liked an aftermarket cooler but will see how it goes noise wise and will no doubt need to upgrade the GPU in a couple of months.

If you decide to get one I recommend the cooler master geminII

Extremely quiet and short with more than adequate ambient and cpu cooling.

This one? it's nice a cheap, not sure it's compatible with Socket 1150 though.

1150 has the same mounting holes as 1155 and 1156, so it'll be fine.
