Quiet HTPC

[Helios]

his build had a dedicated GPU, making RAM speed for the purposes of this scenario, irrelevant.

That is why I said it is only a minor issue

It can fit in the drawer too but not by much.

You know he still has to add a videocard, memory and a processor to that thing, right?

Quote: I would really like to spend less than £400

That's quite low but it's ok , I will try ...
Silver Stone Ultra Slim Mini ITX case (£42)
i3 6100 @ 3.7GHz (£108)
Asrock H110 mini ITX mobo (£69)
Toshiba High Performance Series 2TB HDD (£62)
BeQuiet 300W SFX PSU (£48 - Germany Brand btw)
Palit Storm GTX 1050 2GB (£109)
Crucial 8GB 2400MHz Single Channel (£49 - Because you can buy another 8GB stick in the future)
Total Cost : £445 which is abit higher than your budget

If you want your PC to run as quiet as possible , you will have to buy an aftermarket cooler like this noctua (£34) (High-end thermal compound included)

Hello? £388 without storage....

Better GPU too.

Micro ATX doesn't meet his requirements

[Helios]

They never said that. They just said it would need to be small.

A mATX mini tower is pretty dang small.

Yes, what led you to believe otherwise?

I think I remember now why I stopped coming to this subforum.
