Foxconn SFF RM1-H2 Barebone System w/ HDMI and 200W Power Supply $60 + Free Shipping (expired)

Seems like a really nice enclosure and mobo for a secondary system/HTPC. Using any Sandy Bridge CPU should get you good enough graphics for full 1080p onboard video, leaving the extra PCIe slot for a USB 3.0 half height expansion. Now I need a mega cheap add-on CPU and this will be a great system.

a $35 celeron g540 at microcenter will do

Perfect combo this and http://slickdeals.net/f/5529574-I...-55-Newegg

No love for this deal?, seems pretty good to me, cost a bit more then the AMD e-350 equivalents when on sale after adding a CPU but much more powerful also.

I think it is. Picked one up. And maybe the Pentium too (still thinking).

No love? I've seen that before for these Foxconn Barebones.

Yeah, it's a deal. This is basically a $109.99 barebone case/psu/motherboard for $59.99.

This case has a 200W PSU installed. You can buy the case separately, but only with a 150W power supply - it's the RM233, according to Foxconn's product page for this RM1-H2. [foxconnchannel.com]

...and I've got all the parts.

So, thanks OP.

Reps, thumbs, all that.

will a g350 be able to push 1080p in this setup (paired with 8gb ram)

bought two of these (or something very similar) last Christmas. Great basic PC with a Celeron, some RAM, and an SSD.

Nice price

G530 can push 2 1080p streams without problems.
One thing to note is that 3D is not supported.

Assuming that durability of this is not too bad, this is a great deal for a basic PC.
Throw in a G530, 4GB of ram, DVD-ROM and a $50 drive and you got a usable box for ~ $200 for hardware.

Great system. In for 1.

Is there a reason this thing can't support an Ivy Bridge chip? My only concern is they would need to release firmware to support it.

Found this in a newegg review:

Manufacturer Response:
If you are using an Ivy Bridge processor, please call us at 714-626-6909 for a replacement BIOS chip. Our hours of operation are (M-F from 830am-530pm, PST, excluding public holidays).

Best regards,

Anybody think this would work well as a NAS/media streamer?
