I wanted to share this rig with you all because of all the help I got from here. Cheers to Feronix and Wraithguard for all the helpful advice.
The hardware:
CPU: Intel Pentium G3440 Dual core 3.30 GHz
Mobo: Gigabyte H81M-S2H Socket 1150 MATX
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 4GB 1600 MHz Low Profile
PSU: Corsair VS350 350W
Case: Zalman T4 Mini Tower MATX
SSHD: Seagate Laptop Thin SSHD 500GB SATA3
CPU cooler: Raijintek Zelos Heatpipe
OS: Microsoft Windows 8 64-BIT
DVD RW: Lite-On iHAS124-14
Extra Fan: Noiseblocker BlackSilent XL1 120mm
I want to add that this is case is a real bargain. I paid 30€ for it, and it is all you could expect in that price range plus a lot more. No sharp edges whatsoever were to be found. The cable management were so-so, could be improved, but still I managed to fit all the cables from a whole non-modular PSU behind the mobo tray, and that is saying something.
I did my best with the cable management, still, it isn't perfect, but this rig will be hidden away in a cupboard anyway so it doesn't really matter
The Rajintek Zelos is dead silent, the most noisy part of the rig is unfortunately the PSU. I expected more from Corsair. Even though this is the absolute cheapest PSU they've got. The Noiseblocker is barely audible, and the Zalman 92mm case fan that came with the case is running at 5V so it is pretty silent as well.
Temps were as you could imagine, quite average. Idling at 30, around 50 when browsing the web. Haven't tried any stress test yet, and I don't see any point in it either, since it will never be stressed past the regular stuff.
Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did, until next time.
Cheers!
