New Totally Silent and Dustless SFF Workstation Build.
Posted: Sun Jan 06, 2013 8:31 pm
Looking to build a totally silent and dustless workstation in a small form factor.
Will need:
1) Ivy Bridge 3770 or 3770S (Haven't decided yet)
2) Samsung 840 Pro SSD
3) 12-16 GB Ram (preferably low latency)
3) DVD Burner (quietest possible)
4) Passively Cooled Video Card that will support 4 monitors like FirePro 2460 - or use a motherboard that already supports 2 monitors and another dual Video Card like Asus GT610 1GB - which setup is better for my purpose?
5) Motherboard - not sure what my choices are here.
Would like to have: Space for 1 additional SSD (willing to do without it if necessary)
Looking for a box that is designed to stand on its side. It cannot exceed 6.5 inches.
Looking at picopsu 160XT but not sure if that is best for my purpose or can I use a lower model.
The computer will be used for financial backtesting and live trading.
It really needs to be stable and not overheat. Would like CPU and MB temps to be no higher than 30 C idle and 50 and 40 at 3/4 load. I don't think that it will ever even get to 1/2 load (although I am not sure).
I would appreciate any suggestions regarding the case and psu that I should consider as well as anything else that may help me.
