Hi Guys,
I'm looking to replace my croaking core 2 duo PC and want something that is good enough to cope with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop CC. I currently have my images stored on caddy of external drives connected on eSATA I can't see any options for this connectivity when specing a mini PC so is this possible buy using a PCIe card so I don't lose this functionality?
I also need the PC to be quiet too, if that's possible
