did you read my post properly?

I believe 500w psu would be an overkill. The processor and motherboard are good but I just found this
2gb ram is a good suggestion, I won't need more than that.

I don't want any generic config. though. Don't you think I've already seen that and gone through the whole price list etc.

I need a good small cabinet.

Intel Atom series is good. With the Elite 100 cabinet and bundled cabinet. Run it without a monitor, and use Team Viewer to hook in. See the detailed review I had put up.
