If you went mini ITX, the processor is usually already installed as they use non-desktop cpus i think. So that is a 2-in-1 combo right there. They also use a lot less power than running a full desktop cpu and mobo.
We can give you some help, but at least I'm not going to hold your hand. If you're going to do this, start doing some reading because if anything happens, you only have yourself to answer to. Do some research into what you need, hardware requirements, power requirements. Need to do your own homework.
Im not asking for a walk in the park here. Im asking for someone to guide me.
