 Shuttle small factor computer In message , Peter Hanwright writes Hi, thinking of purchasing the Shuttle SB61 G2 P4 version for editing DV clips. Has anyone had any experience with these? Proposed spec 2.6 GH 800 FSB 512 DDR 400 160 Gb hard drive ATI 9600 pro Windows XP Cheeers Pete I've used a Shuttle SG-51(I think is the model IIRC) and it's been great. nice and quiet, using it with a 60Gb seagate system drive, 250Gb Lacie firewire drive, 768Mb RAM and a 2.5Gh P4 and a Matrox G550. Only bad thing to say about it really is the 1 PCI slot you are stuck with. This is obviously going to be a problem with such small form factors anyway though. Did have a funny thing where it wouldn't boot with a USB device plugged in the front, dunno what that was about but no big problem anyhow. If you can spare the space it might be wiser to go with a midi tower for upgradeabilities sake especially as IDE harddrives are much cheaper than external ones. -- John _ ICQ# - 16141921 / \ ASCII Ribbon Email - (rot13) \ / Campaign * email to reply or from address ignored * X Against Save Farscape! - http://www.watchfarscape.com/ / \ HTML Mail   |
