Hey guys,
i try to build a HTPC, for Netflix and Blueray, in a Case of a PS2.
I saw that someone have try it in the forum, but didn't finish. The Problem is, because of the Blueray-Drive, i can't fit an Micro-ITX. The Base of the PS2 has only room for 15,2cm x 26,2cm.
Does anyone here can help me out with some knowledge about Mini-STX and Micro Boards (these ones with soldered CPUs)?
It needs to have the power to play Blueray. I don't think i need an GPU, so can use the onboard.
I just found the possibility to buy an Asrock Deskmini A300, a CPU, Cooler, m2, RAM and would coast me round about 430€.
Specs: CPU: Ryzen 3 2200g
Cooler: EKL Alpenföhn Silvretta
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2800 MhZ
Other possibility I found is, with an Mini STX board. 390€
Specs:
Board: Asus H110S2 (Only Socket 1151)
CPU: Intel i5 6500/6600k
RAM: 8GB DDR4 2800 MhZ
Power: 300 Watt be quiet! TFX Power 2 Has anyone other solutions? Or knowledge about these components? Any feedback to change something to an better build, maybe with a micro board?
It is a “bang for buck” Build, so would love to spend as low as possible, but still having a smooth system.
Thank you.
