The Atom on the D945GSEJT is single core...Eh, if I had to guess, it'd probably sit somewhere between the Duron 1ghz and Celeron 2ghz systems in terms of responsiveness. I have a little GSEJT system that I use for watching videos on while I'm playing games of Civ or whatever, and it's generally a li...

If you're set on needing ECC, I would consider something like a Supermicro, Intel or Tyan server board paired with a 35 watt single core Conroe CPU or something. Wouldn't that consume more power at idle compared to a low-power board and a 240e or some such? Yeah, but you're ignoring the "If you're ...

Had a look, but I just don't think you're gonna find a motherboard that fits all those requirements. The most challenging being MATX + ECC + Undervoltable all at the same time. ECC is used to promote data integrity and stability, while undervolting has the potential to harm that integrity, so I doub...

You might wish to consider the Sonata Elite if you liked the design of the original - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129057 . It comes without a PSU and is fairly priced as good quality cases go. SPCR did a review of it at http://www.silentpcreview.com/Antec_Sonata_Elite if ...

Hey, what you want is a Network Switch, for example : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/35437 or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-030-EX as relatively affordable examples. You'll also want to pick up a couple of short CAT5 network cables. Plug the cable coming from downstairs into...

Any chance you could measure the distance between the two mounting pins for the existing HSF? Looks like it uses the same kinda hole spacing as an old GF4 Ti4x00 (assuming it's this Matrox card - http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/graphics_cards/qid_series/qid/ ? ). If the hole spacing works...

If there was a candidate genuinely worth voting for in the UK political system, I'd be down the voting booth in a second. A valid point, but one that is ultimately pointless when others are voting for the one that you would LEAST like in power, while you dont vote AGAINST the one you would least li...

Eh, the most powerful Prescott CPUs had a published TDP of 115w, while the current LGA1136 i7s have a published TDP of 130w, and the top end Phenom IIs packing 140w published TDPs. On a per-core basis, the Prescotts were terrible, but chips in general have increased in computing power while maintain...

You're very correct in thinking that the i7/x58 combo pumps a lot of heat outta the VRMs and NB, especially when overclocked. I was suffering from stability problems with my system - any amount of overclocking was simply unstable. Moving to a top-down cooler solved all my issues - I'm using a Gigaby...

Another option, since you're not too concerned about internal storage capacity, would be one of the "desktop netbook" type machines.
One of these, for example:

Could take a look at http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/ .
This one likely uses the exact same board I used, and can be ordered complete with internal components:
