Hi,

 

I'm looking for a mini pc powerful enough to run windows 10 without stutter or lag between the os and it needs to be powerful enough to last a good few years.

I am looking at these  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-Brix-BXBT-1900-Ultra-Compact/dp/B00MOEMZMQ/ref=pd_cp_147_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0S82Y46V0V1H4R2P0Y4T&dpID=41YcFDVIXpL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL70_SR70%2C70_ , http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-DN2820FYKH-Barebone-Graphics-Bluetooth-x/dp/B00HVKLSVC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1446115452&sr=8-5&keywords=zotac+pico   but I need it to have support for a 3.5 inch drive. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Also around the budget of £100 - £140.

 

Thanks

Why do you want them to have 3.5" HDDs?

They are physically shorter than a 3.5" HDD.

As I have recently purchased a 3.5inch hdd for my old pc but if they dont make them with 3.5 inch drive support can you recommend a good mini pc?

I would get an SSD and replace the HDD.

Another alternative is a mITX motherboard and case and you can use your HDD.
