What's the price/performance sweet spot for a low power tiny pc with integrated graphics only? Is this buy an OEM all in one territory? I'm going to make a custom enclosure so I don't care if it comes with one

Speed of a quad core i7 from 5 years ago. Integrated graphics from Intel in the last 5 years is fine. A modern DX level is good but it doesn't need much actual muscle. It is for a car pc, so it doesn't need to be ultra low power. I'd like it to be more business laptop level but without a display or keyboard.

Any manufacturers of note that make cool NUC stuff and also aren't named intel?

Yeah I had an optiplex sff that I sold to an old roommate. It was a phenominal deal and super solid PC. I was also thinking a thinkpad t440p with processor swap is fairly competetive. I discovered there is a thread for small computers so I'll ask over there what's cool.

Really almost nothing. The low end cases don't have razor blade edges anymore. There are basically no parts you can hook up backwards, everything is keyed, though 1999 might have been to that point too.

Do you think I will be able to run this setup using a 120W Pico PSU? PC Part Picker estimates 156W so pretty iffy but I don't know how conservative the estimate is. I already have all this stuff so I can try it out but no need to bother if everyone says it's hopeless. How much power can I save if I undervolt stuff? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hRXKXv CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14 CPU Cooler Motherboard: ASRock Z97M-ITX/AC Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-2133 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive Pico PSU Link

TheFluff posted:It might work, but you may run into reset issues if/when sudden changes in CPU load lead to overcurrent protection and/or undervoltage protection tripping on some out-of-spec condition that might only have lasted for a few milliseconds. If you want to try it, I think a better idea than undervolting is downclocking (by limiting the max CPU multiplier) or just setting the power limit to maybe 45W or so in the BIOS, if it lets you do that. Kinda figured that'd be the best anyone could tell me, barring someone randomly having used the same equipment. I have one of those wifi outlets that can measure power use, I'll try with a normal PSU and see how much power it uses under full load. Anyone know what some good options are for DC powered ATX supplies?

Putting it in a car. It'd be nice to not have to go DC-AC-DC if I don't have to. There is also an 180W PicoPSU but I don't really need it to be super duper small.

If the i5-4690K (88W Haswell) doesn't work out, I could try i5-5675C (65W Broadwell). It explicitly has a TDP control function down to 27W. Interesting there are two broadwell models supported by Z97 chipset w/ 1150 socket or get a better PSU for $50 taqueso fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Dec 11, 2019 |

Or if you don't like goons, you can get one from places like kinguin, but really don't pay MS for Win10 they are trying as hard as they can to give it away for ~free without actually announcing it.

Anyone interested in an old hdd like a quantum fireball or semi old like a 15k raptor or infamous bad model deathstar that works? Also have some random 1tb disks I think. I'll give them to a good home. If there is interest I'll make a list.

I was going to say "there must be holes a half inch over" but then I noticed it lines up pretty much on the right but gets worse as you go left. So maybe it's the wrong IO plate? Or they cut it wrong at the factory?

Are there any cases designed to be slim and long/wide like a pizza box? With a full side video card beside the motherboard. Ideally with no internal PSU. Feeling like it's either hacking up a 1u to 2u rack mount case or go custom starting with a project box enclosure. It needs to be less than 4 inches tall to fit in the location I want to use in my car.

I can't find it but there was an article about how some motherboards have the memory traces optimized for 2-stick use (shorter traces for 2 sockets at the expense of the other 2), and some don't. Either way you probably won't be able to OC quiiiite as much with 4.

You can use different antennas. You might need to switch the motherboard to io plate pigtails from rsma to sma if you get a fancy antenna.

Disconnect everything but power, take out the RAM and pcie cards and nvmes. You want the minimal amount of hardware, then add in things one at a time. Check the mobo boot code with no cpu, then with cpu. See if those codes make sense. After the cpu is in, the mobo should be complaining about no memory at that point, I would think. If it isn't at least you've narrowed it down to CPU or mobo.

In a ton of cases that is exactly true. If anything putting a bunch of RGB on it is bad for signal integrity.
