ok i have anywhere between £1000 - £1100 to spend on a shuttle i do not need a monitor so price me up!
Well, how about telling us what each of you plan to use your Shuttles for and if there is something you really want to have included .
1000GBP is a lot of money. That's almost $1800USD. Nice. Here's my recommendation: SN95G5 -- $329.00 AMD Athlon64 3800+ -- $609.00 512MB PC3200 Kingston x2 -- $82.00 x 2 = $164.00 Western Digital WD2500JD SATA HDD, 250GB -- $156.99 Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro -- $469.00 -------------------------------- Total: $1727 / £962 Now, granted, buying from the US is probably not an option for you, as shipping would likely push you over the limit, so you'd need to find these parts on your side of the pond, but that shouldn't be too hard. Prices may vary a bit, but I left you a little headroom. You could easily slap in another HDD.
erm silent death, you do realize that the prices you listed will be essentially the same on that side of the pond...
I hate to quote myself, but: Yes, I know prices will be about the same, but some things you can find cheaper on certain sides of the Atlantic. Still, that's a damn fast system. I wish I had almost two grand to drop on a new Shuttle.
I think Tulatin meant that over here in Blighty the numbers in the prices would be the same, except we'd be paying in pounds sterling
Here's the British version: SN95G5 -- £276 AMD Athlon64 3500+ -- £262 512MB PC3200 Kingston x2 -- £63 x 2 = £126 Western Digital WD2500JD SATA HDD, 250GB -- £70 Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro -- £293.70 -------------------------------- Total: £1027 / $1842 Everything but the video card is from http://www.gemma.co.uk (who don't let you link directly! Rawr!), and all VAT is included in my pricing. So, there's not a whole lot of difference, but VAT does suck.
my 2c sn95g5 939 3000+ 0,09u 2*512 pc3200 low latency (kingston or smth else) 6800gt 2*raptor74 raid 0 ups...i was thinking to P-series.... so placing 2 hd on G-series is smth difficult :| /me want nf4 xpc P-series
I cant wait for SLI in a shuttle (two x16 slots right next to each other, just be sure to use GTs. Shuttle would have to supply a smaller verson of the interconnect PCB... and maybe rig up some method of sucking heat off those cards
Tell me what you want in it and I'll see what I can do! I own a registered company (EJR-Technology) same user on ebay! So I could get the stuff trade. MSN: gee_eddy@hotmail.com
My recommendation: (Prices taken from Newegg.com) Shuttle SN95G5 $319.00 AMD64 3800+ $630 Corsair XMS 2x512mb 2-2-2-5 $250 Maxtor 250gb SATA 16mb buffer HD- $181 EVGA GeForce 6800GT- $399 LiteOn 16x DVD-RW- $67 Total(USD)- $1846
Shuttle depending on which you choose £200-£300 CPU either AMD64 or P4 £200 RAM Crucial Ballistix PC4000 £180 (clocks up and down well) HD Samsung Spinpoint 160GB Sata £70 (quiet) DVD NEC ND3500 £50 Graphics X800pro VIVO and flash to 16pipeline £320 (good price choice) Total £1020-£1120 depending on shuttle/cpu choice Dom
My recommendation Got a similar system myself: Corsair Memory TWINX1024-3200XLPRO XMS3200 2x512MB 2-2-2-5 PRO Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 250GB SATA150 Sapphire Technology Radeon X800XT 256MB AGP DVI-I VIVO NEC DVD+-R/RW 16x Dual Layer Black - Drive Only Mitsumi 7 in 1 Media Drive Internal USB2 Black Shuttle Socket 939 nForce3 Ultra AGP MATX Audio/LAN/RAID AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Socket 939 512Kb Inc Fan Total price including shipping in mainland UK from dabs.com/uk: £1,085.90
In systems like those described, it's going to be an oven inside! You also need to be aware of the 240 watt PSU, which can be a limitation. And inside an SN95G5 there can fit 2 HD's.
