Was looking at these to build a small/quiet PC for browsing / general stuff. Needs to be fast as I want it to be able to play HD video etc.

A few questions...

1. What is the difference between the M1 and M2 versions, apart from colour?

2. I'd like to use the new Intel DG45FC board with an E5200 / E7200 .. both are rated at 65watts, but realistically use closer to 30 tops (I have a 7200 in another PC) .. my concern is whether there is clearance at the front of the case to use a picoPSU as the power plug seems to be right under the HDD ... here's some pics of the board: www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=12222

Any one got the micro and can help out?

Thanks in advance...

I work for a company which build media centers with M2 and DG45FC.
We use a 20-to24pin ATX cable to connect the PicoPSU, because the room between the DVD tray and the mobo is not enough to connect the PicoPSU directly on the mobo.

Hope this helps.
