neilharts next modding project - DQ77KB - Loop L5
Jump to post # 76 as I have terminated this project. [neil 2/12/13]
Next project… what to do?
I am sitting on the fence and knowing that I do not need another hack as I have OS X hacks sitting all over this place. But… it is a hobby and maybe that would justify yet another; hummm…
Any way I have been intrigued with the Intel DQ77KB low profile Mini-ITX motherboard, also with the i3-3225 with HD4000 graphics capability, and the DIY kit Loop L5 AIO. If you are not familiar with this kit check it out at: http://techreport.com/review/23376/hands-on-with-intel-open-all-in-one-platform/1 .
The Bill of Material using Amazon as the source looks like this:
CPU = i3-3225 http://techreport.com/review/23376/hands-on-with-intel-open-all-in-one-platform/1
Fan and heat sink = Intel BXHTS1155LP http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Cooling-Fan-Heatsink-BXHTS1155LP/dp/B0065ZUXS8
Memory = 16GB SODIMM DDR3 1600MH http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-PC3-10600-1333MHz-204-Pin-9-9-9-25/dp/B00698WP50
Motherboard = DQ77KB http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Desktop-Motherboard-LGA1155-mini-ITX/dp/B00840BACU
Chassis = Loop L5 DIY kit http://www.amazon.com/Intel-CAP08LOOPAIO-Loop-Aio-Chassis/dp/B008AEW43O
Storage = SSD 128GB SATA III - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005T3GPXE/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
With shipping and CA sales tax this comes to $820 USD. Any one piece I can justify… but the sum of the parts chokes me.
I could slow roll the purchases over a few weeks (months) to reduce the hit to credit card.
I am sure that I would mod the kit and so would document it all here in this section of the forum.
Your thoughts.
