TCH-JimE Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Hi, I brought Shuttle SN41G2 a few months back and I have to say I love it. Why? Well: Its small. No i mean its really small. Take 1 size of A4, its smaller then the length and breadth of this. This means I can pick it up and carry it around the house without a problem and I don't strain my back! Its brushed aluminum case is beautiful It has a AGP slot and PCI slot, as well as on-board sound, Firewire, USB and graphics already provided. Ok so no printer port but funnily enough, I am not bothered any longer by this! My current spec is a Radeon 9000 64Mb machine with 512 Mb DDR ram driving a Xp1800+ Athlon chip, 80 gigs hard disk with 40X CDRW in it. I also have a 5.1 creative sound card in here which I may take out soon. Its quiet. Its not dead quiet and I can still hear the fan, and the CDRW is very very noisy but thats not the cases fault. Downsides: Its expensive The PCI slot can get in the way of the CD drive if you have one fitted although rubber supports are used to stop any scratching Its fiddly. If you never built a computer before, don't buy this as your first one because the spare space is none existent It wont take some AGP cards which require a space PCI slot. Basically I love it, its compact, chic, fast and has a cool blue light on the front of it Link: http://www.shuttle.com/new/product/barebon...s_b.asp?B_id=11 Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezard Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Shuttle makes some of the BEST mirco atx computer systems! I'm building a PC a lot like the shuttle systems, micro atx VIA EPIA M10000 motherboard (6" x 6" in size) I'll post a link to my write up for the system once its done.
