Help with Compact PC/NUC

[Middle-C]

Just for simple word processing and serving web

looking at zotac zbox too, but not sure which is the latest model to support 2.5" HDD. any other alternatives from Intel NUC?

Currently looking at:
Casing+PSU: Jonsbo V2 + 300W power $99
Mobo+CPU: MSI H81I + G3220 $164
Ram: Kingston 4gb 1600mhz $51
HDD: WD 1TB Blue $68
Reusing old screen, mouse and keyboard
Total $382

Is there a more compact case which uses pico psu?

Priority is size and budget $400

Thanks in advance

enough power?

The power adapter that comes with casing has enough juice for your setup.

where can i get the antec case? and how much?
what about the in-win BQ600?

external psu dont look convincing though.. is it worth saving the space? CM 110 only slightly bigger?

Try thermaltake CoreV1. Bigger than Jonsbo but easier to work with. Around $70 only, one of the best price to quality you can find/

SSD is mSATA, 2.5" bay is extra. And yes there are 2 SO-DIMM RAM slots, 1 occupied the other vacant.
