Recommendations

Seasonic SS-300M1U and SS-350M1U power supplies are a recommended fit (300W PSU fine for a system with up to 8 x 5400/5900rpm disks and new i3/i5 processor, 350W suited for systems with higher speed disks and i7 processor)

The above power supplies need extension cables to reach the motherboard - our part 1983 for ATX extension and our part 1901 to extend a molex plug to reach the backplane.

Noctua NH-L9i CPU Cooler is our favourite fit for Intel 115x systems - this is quiet and fits with room to spare. On the mini-ITX cases, the Intel box cooler at around 50mm high does not fit, but on NSC-810A MicroATX model, the Intel box cooler does just fit, but with only a few mm spare between the top of it and the case lid. So it will work, but may get a bit louder.
