This is my second mini-ITX build. This computer is adequate for:
- Home theater PC
- Office work
- Light gaming
- Downloading :)

With Windows 7 Ultimate installed, the power up time is ~30 seconds.

The Windows Experience Index is as follows (the scale goes from 1.0 to 7.9):

Processor: 6.9
Memory (RAM): 7.4
Graphics: 6.7
Gaming graphics: 6.7
Primary hard disk: 7.4
Base score: 6.7 (determined by lowest subscore)

The parts list:

Intel Core i3 2120T (2.6GHZ) (2nd gen Sandy Bridge)
ark.intel.com/products/53427/Intel-Core-i3-2120T-Processo...
I chose this CPU because I think it has the best balance of computing power (2 cores, 4 threads), consuming power (with a TDP of just 35W) and price.

CPU cooler SCYTHE Kozuti

The CPU's stock cooler didn't work properly, so I had to buy this one. It's more powerful, more quiet and more reliable than Intel's.

Asus P8H67-I REV 3.0 (Mini-ITX)

This is a great little motherboard, ideal for a small factor build.

Kingston HyperX blue 2x4 GB DDR3-1333 CL9 (KHX1333C9D3B1K2/8G)

SAPPHIRE HD6570 ULTIMATE 1GB DDR3 PCI-E

This is probably the best passively cooled graphics card money can buy.

OCZ SSD AGILITY 3 120GB SATA III

Great speed and plenty of space for OS, applications and games. And cheap, too.

Western Digital 250GB 4200rpm (from an old notebook)

SUPERCASE MINI-ITX MI-008 (250W)

This was the smaller case I could find with enough space for CPU+cooler and a decent PSU. I could install one 5.4" drive, one 3.5" hard disc and two 2.5" hard discs if I wanted to :D I chose to install just the 2.5" HDs, the optical drive isn't necessary anymore (one can install everything from a single USB flash drive!), and since this isn't being used as a HTPC for now, a big capacity 3.5" HD wasn't needed either.
