It depends, but most of the casing will come with at least 1 exhaust fan at the rear side.

QUOTE(Kwallace @ Feb 2 2013, 11:21 AM)
G'day all,

I'm looking to move my home computer into work and getting a new one for myself.  I recently bought a X51 for work and it's pretty groovy but I'd like to get a bit more bang for my buck.  I think in my old age I don't need a super computer anymore but I still need it to eat games like Skyrim and TF2.

I'm also looking for it to be in a Mini ITX case - Budget without monitor is 3k. Any help most appreciated, I'm so out of the loop now I have no idea what's good or not anymore.

Also, I'm looking to get a super mini computer to act as a wifi farm in my house.  The Unifi comes in through the lounge room and not the computer room so I'd like a server type situation where the TV's, laptops, mobiles, etc can access directly to.  Budget for this not sure but I guess 1.5k and I'll use the tv as the monitor.

Cheers smile.gif

500w is enough or not to support that specs? Is that the cheapest price i can find? Thanks!  smile.gif
*
Most 500W 80+ bronze PSU will be able to support the specs.
If it is CM 500W GX series will recommend u to replace with a better one since it has some bad issues ago.
Example: Enermax NAXN82+ 550W RM215 or Seasonic S-series 620W RM299
The other price you can find is similar as suggested by Cable707, perhaps about ±(5~10%).
For WD Blue 1TB price should be around RM200, but price differ from time to time maybe my price list is outdated. So correct me if I'm wrong.

Never looked at the psu model. If I cant use that psu, i need to find decent psu. And for the hdd, what is the main difference between blue, black and green? Quality? Price?
*
Performance
Black > Blue > Green

Energy Saving
Green > Blue > Black

Price
Blue and Green are just similar at 500gb & 1TB, Black will be expensive. However as the size goes up, Green is cheaper.

sounds good. i will take into consideration. leadtek gtx670... is it reliable? to say, last...3 years at least. why is it the gigabyte gtx670 more expensive than leadtek gtx670? by around rm300... must be something better or just brand?
*
Yes it is. It has a warranty of 3 years too.
Gigabyte is more expensive than Leadtek because it has a better cooling build for overclocking.
Besides it gives lower noise level too.

wow this is great, i can save more budget i guess~sorry monitor also exclude from my budget haha~~what if i replace the motherboard with ASUS P8Z77-V? hows the comparison with this 2 motherboard?
*
In terms of gaming performance with single graphic card, they are almost the same.
Both mobo support raid setup and have 2x sata3 ports.

ASUS P8Z77-V have more sata ports, more usb 3.0 ports, can overclock cpu and support SLI/CFX.

Sounds like you are gonna do overcloking brows.gif
Any Z77 mobo will be needed for overclocking. Value ram will be cheaper and it won't affect gaming experience.

Intel i5 3570k RM679
MSI Z77MA-G45 RM309
Kingston 8gb PC 1600 RM142
Total RM1130

If not overclocking,
Intel i5 3470 RM564
MSI H77MA-G43 RM289
Kingston 8gb PC 1600 RM142
Total RM995

*Will recommend getting a better CPU Cooler for overclocking to reduce the high temp.
