2012 Budget Mini-ITX Desktop PC System Build Guide @ Legit Reviews

We all love system guides.  They outline what gear you need and in some cases show you how it all goes together.  Legit Reviews has a MiniITX system guide up using an interesting combination of parts, most of which are from Asus.

Imagine that?

Are you looking to build a new PC and thinking about using the Mini-ITX platform? Today, Legit Reviews shows you how to create a SFF system and stay under the $650 price point. The system uses an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, a Kingston 120GB SSD, and an ASUS GeForce GTX 650 video card just to highlight a few of the main components. This system should be able to easily tackle normal usage scenarios during the work week and then switch roles to a nice gaming machine on the weekends. Read on to check out the build! 

There are several ways to go when building a MiniITX system and the decision normally comes down to your chassis choice and how powerful you want things to be.  The Bitfenix Prodify used in the Legit built is a really nice case but quite tall (for what it is) and limits where you can physically put the case.  Now if you used a chassis like the Silverstone Sugo SG08 then you can have full length video card support, great cooling AND still be able to put the system on a shelf and out of the way.
