Cheapest mITX PC possible (US)

[Zando_]

Like the title says, I'm looking for the cheapest mITX Pc possible. I'd like the smallest case possible that still looks nice. I'm mulling over replacing my Aunt's computer since she always has problems with hers (User error for the most part, but I think a fresh start would help). The Pentium G4560 is about the cheapest CPU I could find that's decent, and she's only doing office work so the iGPU will be fine. Doesn't need wifi, I've got a dongle for that. I'd like USB 3, but she doesn't really need it, if just like her computer to run faster. And a 240GB SSD is all she need for storage, since all her files are on a NAS. Think you can help me out?

That's pretty much what I was thinking, just wanted to some other ideas. So about $420 with Win10. Not bad. And if it doesn't work for her, I slap a 1050 Ti in it and keep it as a secondary PC.

I disagree. Comes with a included psu, and it it is overall a well builtcase. the additional 30$ are worth it in my opnion. to each their own.

He's right, and I'm assuming it looks just as nice as the 101 or whatever the other one so was looking at.

But you're also right, since your build is cheaper. ?

I don't be think I need an SFX PSU. The cases they recommended either come with one or take a normal ATX PSU. I was looking at getting a CXM, since they're ever so slightly cheaper than an S12II or M12II. Though an M12II would make it much easier to build in a small case.

Yeah. Though there are lots of cases that support a full ATX PSU, and I don't know much about SFX PSUs. Got a recommendation for me?
