Are any Celeron 1037U Motherboards actually available?

Me too, but a better deal (IMO) is going on right now at Staples. Basically the "same" notebook for $25 more, but with a Core i3 with HD 4000 graphics, and USB 3.0.

Need recommendation for microATX case for business build - no PS

50 builds in ANY case would be quite time consuming. I haven't found size to have much impact on how long it takes to build a rig. It is more case design which impacts ease of assembly. If you are concerned about build time, why don't you just buy pre-builts? You can find some cheap...

My wife and I are buying a car for my mom this weekend....

The Hyundai 10 year powertrain warranty was only for original owner. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case you didn't know.

smaller than TFX power supply

This. For something "smaller than TFX" there is Flex ATX. Seasonic makes one that is 80Plus Bronze at 250W.

Need recommendation for microATX case for business build - no PS

I can point you to numerous forum threads regarding failed Seasonic PSUs. :twisted: IMO a "quality PSU" does not extend the life of a PC. IMO a "crappy PSU" shortens the life of a PC. You can choose the absolute best quality and most expensive components, and still experience failures...

Antec ISK600

Antec ISK600 I don't know how much it will cost. It is a YACC (yet another cube case). Can fit multiple drives, ATX PSUs, any graphics card and maybe even tower coolers. Think of it as a Cooler Master Elite 120/130, but with the PSU up front and not covering the CPU. An interesting side...

Portable case recommendations?

Silverstone SG05-450 (alternately SG05-Lite and purchase PSU separately to save money and gain extra warranty) Case is about the smallest off-the-shelf which can fit a higher end graphics card (up to 10" if PCIe power plugs on top, 9.5" if PCIe power plugs on end). 450W PSU is good enough for a...

TFX PSU? That limits you to slim cases, plus I don't recall seeing TFX based cases sold sans PSU. I bet you're eying those 80Plus Gold Seasonic made TFX units, amirite? What parts are going into the systems? What will they be used for? Maybe we can find you another solution.

[DEAD for now]: i7-4770K $199.99 at MicroCenter 11/18-11/21

Maybe I should clarify. My suggestion was for anyone who would otherwise not combo a motherboard. The MSI board is cheaper and gets a bigger discount than other boards, making it criminally inexpensive. :awe: It could probably be flipped for a couple bucks profit, or even just kept as a backup...

Z87-G41 PC Mate is the model, and I did the math wrong. Motherboard ends up $65.

[DEAD for now]: i7-4770K $199.99 at MicroCenter 11/18-11/21

1156/1155/1150 all use same mounting. Does that help? You totally should have. If you don't want a board from them, then take the MSI Z87 PC Mate or whatever that is called. Reason is that it gets a $45 off combo instead of the $30 off with every other board. Makes it $75 for an...

Seiki 39" LED 4K Ultra HDTV $500 AC FS

Your only choice for something near to that would be one of the Korean 27" monitors which are known for refresh rate overclocking.

[DEAD for now]: i7-4770K $199.99 at MicroCenter 11/18-11/21

I now see the 4770k at $199.99 on both landing page and product page, but the 4670k is also $199.99. Seems valid for combo deals, but other than a certain board, only get $30 off. Damn, wonder if I can get a buddy to go with me. 70 miles plus around $10 in tolls kind of kills the deal for...
