Hi,

So I have in my drawer an i5-2500K (I love it a lot) and an i7-2700K. I do not want to sell them at least one of them and I was thinking about to build another rig. But obviously it is pretty hard, because I barely can find a proper motherboard for it and I really would like to have a mini ITX rig.
I am located in the UK so if you guys could help me out with some info and/or links that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

astro
 
Not the mITX build but quite close.

If you can find mITX LGA1155 socket MoBo on sale somewhere then feel free to replace it alongside with even smaller case.
Also a list of MoBos to help you out.
