Shuttle systems? (my favourite pc)

***Zardon*** · Sep 9, 2005, 06:45 PM

ive been playing with an alienware system, ripped out the cpu, put in a 3.8ghz prescott, got it to 4.2+ghz (on air and still almost silent)... this is my favourite pc of all the hardware I have

its so gorgeous looking (see the review of a similar system on DH).

P4 prescott 3.8ghz @ 4.2ghz
2 gig of ram
Samsung 200gig HD
Sony Dual layer 16x DVD burner
BFG 6800GT OC @ 410core and 1120mhz ram...

Anyone else got a shuttle?

nice

. I like the theme that you have going along with it

I don't but recently, I've been looking at shuttles to buy... I mean, they are tiny, quite and seem perfect for home cinema system thingy.

Your a lucky guy zardon

! I'd do anything for a small SFF system like yours! (and damn 4.2GHZ? but does't it get too hot?)

Thats my fav "dark bevel", its not been updated for the new trillian but it works fine, its very easy on the eyes.

well you cant leave it on "smart fan", but it copes admirably, I have it on "MID" permanently and the temps of the cpu never go over 70c, which is great for a prescott @ 4.2ghz in such a small chassis. Shuttle use a real kickass heatsink pipe system......

thank you kind sir, now the search is on for a theme to match

***Zardon*** · Sep 11, 2005, 09:21 AM

there are a few matching themes around but i always end up with classic as I have to start excluding apps like photoshop as it always causes some interface issue.......

***Zardon*** · Sep 28, 2005, 03:38 PM

ive now got an ASUS 7800GTX in this

You lucky guy you

I have a shuttle PC, but it isn't NEARLY as great as yours..

Pentium 4 2.7 GHz
512 ram PC2700
80 GB hard drive (with a 120 GB external)
Radeon 9600SE (i really gotta do something about that card)
160 watt power supply
1 DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive

But it's not like I play brand new games with it or anything.. pretty much just Counter Strike, so it's not in a need for an update for that

thats a decent spec still, might want to look into perhaps a 9800 for it, im sure the 160 watt PSU should handle it, the shuttle PSUs are pretty powerful for their modest "ratings".

Was thinking about getting a 9800 for some time ago.. but my LCD goes up to 75 herz without making it go higher than it should, and in Counter Strike I get constant 74, so I didn't see the need for shelling out around $120. Though the good side is this card (9600SE) supports dual monitor, and my dad just picked up a working CRT in the street yesterday

So I'm gunna get that working sometime soon

I love the Shuttle although it has had it's problems but overall two thumbs up.

My system:

Shuttle XPC SN95G5
AMD64 3500+
1G Mushkin PC3200
WD 74G Raptor
ATi X800 Pro
SB Audigy2 ZS
23" HP 2335

Asus S-Presso
Pentium 4 2.4C
2x512 DDR400
40GB Maxtor Drive (Salvaged from an old HP)
24x CD-RW (also salvaged from the old HP)
17" Sony Trinitron
Logitech MX300
HP Multimedia Keyboard
HP Scanjet 4600
HP Photosmart 7550
Netgear Super-G 108 MB/sec router

All in all a VERY space efficient office PC for my mother

I adore my ST20G5. I don't regret getting it over the SN25P, although that one was a great choice as well. It's currently holding:

AMD 64 3000+ @ Stock (No OC yet)
1 GB Corsair PC3200
Seagate 120 GB
Using Xpress 200

My sole purpose of it was to give a PC to my sister while having room for expandability. The onboard stuff is great, even the audio to my surprise.

Rock-solid from the get go (after the necessary BIOS update though). I can even put my desktop's 7800GT in there for instant LAN Gaming-box!

My plans for it include overclocking and throwing in a next generation R520 or R580 based AIW card for multi-media purposes.

I may pick up an X2 3800+ for it when they drop down further in price. (Got 2, so why not one more?

)

nForcer · Sep 28, 2005, 05:59 PM

I love my SD31P. I'm convinced I'm one of a VERY select few who own one at the moment.
At 470 USD - its not a cheap barebones system, but coupled with an Intel 820, 6600GT, Corsair DDR2 and some RAID luv from Seagate...this little bugger is quite the power house.

...and its only my media/gaming machine.

Now if ONLY I could figure out how to cool the GFX card better......

Rasta Monsta · Sep 28, 2005, 06:13 PM

I have an SB65G2 under my desk at work right now. . .P4 3.0, Gig o'RAM, 9800 Pro.

Love it!

put together for my fiancee a shuttle a while back.

2. (might be 4, maybe 8?) celeron, 512mb pc3200, 160G HDD, 9600Pro.

It does the job.

Like Z, I was dead impressed with the heatpipe stuff Shuttle have going on, it's kinda cool, although getting to the cpu is a tad trickier.

Also got an IWill that I use as an mp3 server. My god that thing is small. Had to pull out the mobo to fit a new retention bracket, it was like the Crystal Maze or something.
Jiggle it a bit this way, angle it that way............
No agp, but enough room for a wireless card, a huge hdd, dvd drive, and (apparantly) up to 3.2G P4.

Thought this forum would be a bit better occupied than it seems to be, I'd kinda got the impression that lots of you had sff.

***Zardon*** · Oct 6, 2005, 03:56 PM

sounds like a nice rig, and I wouldnt take the "3.2ghz" p4 rating as gospel, ive found they can take much more

yeah, it's not bad, about one quarter the size of my own Antec (not as quiet though)

great for size, plays most things pretty well, but lack of expansion is a sticking point for an old skinflint like me.

can't get a dvd drive with a matching front either.........

black goes with most things, or they also usually make beige, and lian-li makes aluminum bezels as well
