Hello everyone,
I have an asrock330. 1.6ghz Intel atom CPU, 2gb ram. 500gb sata HDD, Nvidia ION.
It's obviously a bit long in the tooth now so I've been eyeing up Intel nuc boxes and gigabyte brix too.
All is good but when you've bought the extra ram, HDD, (wherever else), it can run to £400-500. For that money I estimate you would end up with an i3 or i5 system of some kind.
Ideally looking so save money, I quite like the black case of my 330. And I especially like the spdif and 6x USB ports.
---- in the effort of trying to save money....
Does anyone know if asrock offer a motherboard which could fit in the case of the asrock330? Ideally I would like to be running an i3 or i5 CPU with say 8gb ram. And of course if it can accommodate ssd instead of sata that would be the icing.
Is this possible? I might be going about this the wrong way.. It might end up even more expensive than Intel's nuc route, but im no expert so I thought I'd ask those in the know first see if im not a loony :-p
:-)
Kind regards.
