Yup.

There is an internal 12v 80w DC to DC power board inside and an external 12v 6.67A (80w) external laptop type mains adapter. This is the one that comes with the Akasa case. These "open" type power supplies are very efficient and are fine to run these components. The cpu has a TDP of 65w.

Would you be open to parting it out? I'd be interested in the mobo and cpu, but personally would have picked a different case and gone with 2x4gb ram.

I appreciate the H67 board is more rare than the H61, but personally wouldn't make use of the added feature. I think you probably would be better off selling to someone who sees the value in it

I don't currently have a SATA II drive that I was going to put in it, or USB 3.0 devices, but I guess it doesn't hurt to be future proof.

Does everything work perfectly out of the box with this one? I have seen that it is the suggested tonymacx86 build for the mac mini.

Also, if I purchase my own license for Lion, would you be happy to leave the OS on there as I don't have another mac to use to create the thumb drive and don't want to mess around with vmware just to get a bootable mac thumb drive.

I'm interested, but don't want to get your hopes up, as I may replace the case and the ram, I won't be offering the asking price.

What is the condition of the case?

I think I'd probably go with an Antec ISK300, I've had one before, and quite like the design.

Do you still have the packaging for the parts?

That does sound appealing. what kind of temperatures do you get with the HSF you're using? (in the current case and in the habey case?
