I found a Lian-Li PC-Q02 case on eBay, and decided to build it into a daily driver for my relatives (internet browsing, some fair Office use, occasional movie streaming through Plex).
Specs as decided upon:
- AMD Ryzen 3 2200G
- Patriot Viper Elite 16Gb
- Gigabyte B450 I
Cryorig C7 Cu for cooling.
No case fans.
The undecide part right now is the power supply. There is barely any space in the case, so I want to go complete overkill and get a modular SeaSonic 450W. I'll lose efficiency, but I will have fewer cables to contend with, and it will not spin its fan.
The alternative is to get a DC-ATX PSU of some sort, which I am not familiar with at all. From looking around, picoPSU seems to be decent, but they look suspicious, and have dread stories of burnt systems. HDPlex looks glamorous enough to be a contender, but good luck finding one (if someone has one to offer, I am all ears just to have one).
Recommendations are very welcome.
