I know... that's just the thing: Cool & quiet (PC-A05) vs. Looks (V600). That's not to say the A05 is ugly, -it's just between the two, I prefer the looks of the V600.

Havent got a chance to read the entire thread, -but for those taking out the hdd cage, where are you putting the hdd? Im thinking this will probably be my next case, -though Im really torn between this and the V600.

How about the Lian Li PC-A05B? It's almost the same size as the TJ08: TJ08 - 195mm(W) x 381mm(H) x 378mm(D) A05B- 210mm(W) x 381mm(H) x 490mm(D) ???

Planning a new build after the price cuts later this month: CPU: E6600 Mobo: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R RAM: Mushkin 2x1GB XP2-6400 DDR2-800 Video: eVGA 8800GTS 320MB PSU: Corsair 520HX Case: Lian Li PC-A05B HSF: Tuniq Tower Notes: - 2GB Ram should be enough, though I wouldnt mind the...

Anyone know how to make iTunes scan its library to indicate/show (with the exlamation mark or something) all the files that I've previously moved/deleted from my HDD? Just trying to clean my iTunes Library, and it's a pain trying to find all the songs that are gone from my HDD, yet still show...

thanks for the translation.... (what language was the source in? Couldnt find a translation using babel fish). Anyways, it's nice to finally see some info on this xpc. With the news of the SN25P grabbing all the attention, I though we'd never get info on this better looking unit. I was...

Not sure about the email, but it's pretty much verified on other boards (from official Shuttle spokepersons) that the ST20G5 is AMD. Plus the email looks fishy: The SN25P coming out AFTER the ST20G5? Unlikely. Not to mention that the code is: ST20G5. Where the 'T' stands for ATI codes...

Just out of curiosity... Has there actually been ANY word on an Aria2? Or has it just been purely speculation from people who want it?

There is NO way to install the silencer inside a shuttle w/o modification (or leaving the case off). On all G/G2/G4/G5 chassis', you have to cut the case to get it to fit. On the newer P chassis, you need to modify the drive cage. Im not sure if it'll fit in the i chassis (not sure if the...

I'd say the iPod. Even though the shorter battery life is something that still irks me (especially when you compare it to the Zen, Rio, Dell DJ, etc... which have 12+hrs), you still cant beat its size. Portable music players need to be just that... portable. Even if the dimensions make the...

maybe... but the next 3 shuttles to be released are ALL PCIe (SN25P, ST20G5, and the SB86i).

If you're not going to overclock, how much faster would the NF4 board be over the RS480board? (if any) I've built a couple of xpc's before (2x SN45Gv1's), and the PSU's havent died on yet. I guess I can understand a first time buyer being hesitant on a 250W PSU, but I've never had any...

With regards as to which one is faster... who knows? (although I'd be willing to bet the NF4 board is, simply because this is ATI's first jump in the chipset). Sure the ST20G5 has a smaller psu, and is a smaller case... BUT, for alot of people the 'look' of the xpc is very important. To me...

Those G5 cases are just a thing of beauty!!!! :D It's a shame they put the NF4 into a ugly P chassis. Hopefully the wait for the ST20G5 isnt too long.

I usually just browse deviantart.

Just a simple desktop....

Feb22... Although Im not sure if that's the day they're going to be available at retailers, or if that's just a paper release date.

Im not sure about the video card, but that CPU will definately go in a Shuttle SN95G5. There are 2 upcomming xpc's that are also going to be released that will take that cpu: SN25P (nForce4) ST20G5 (ati RS480)

How did you find out about this? (link?) Im hoping it's in silver, cause I think it looks better than the black one, but from all the info I've found so far, the color of the G5 chassis has still been undecided.

I think you need to ask yourself why you're going SFF. If it's just to save space (although Aria's arent exactly small), and to have a system you can put on your desk, regardless of how good or ugly a case might be, than the Aria is for you. As other's have mentioned it allows for more...

Well, the new Shuttle ST20G5 should be out shortly after the SN25P. St20G5 = Ati RS480 chipset, and the much better looking G5 chassis.

The Shuttle ST20G5 has been announced (and apparently shown @ CES). It's using the new ATI RS480 chipset, but unlike the the SN25P, it uses the better looking G5 case (whether it's in silver or black is yet unknown). Currently the only PCI-E Shuttles are the SB81P and the SB95P

Why? Both companies get most of their business from OEM markets, and normal desktop use. The 'enthusiast' market is probably one of their smaller client proportions. And other than enthusiasts who need to have the latest and greatest hardware all the time, who else would need to keep...

Just re-read it... Obviously I meant that I doubt new gen cards are coming out in AGP

I dont think we'll be seeing any new gen cards from ATI or Nvidia. Best you can really hope for are bridged solutions from PCI-Express. And at this point, only the top end cards are priced high and hard to find. Mid cards are pretty easy to get, and priced competitively. Add in that the...

I cant speak about the socket939 that far down the road, but as for it being 'future-proof', you have to remember that it's AGP, and not using PCI-E (like the upcoming SN25P, and the yet unnamed RS480 shuttle). And yes, the Aria (compared to Shuttle XPCs) are upgradeable, and have a better...

Like others have suggested, -since you're not overclocking Im also going to say Corsair Value Select.

If you're looking for a gaming machine, than AMD should be your only choice. Since you want AGP, than you've got 3 shuttles to choose from: SN85G4 (s754) --->most stable SK83G (s754) --->budget sff SN95G5 (s939) --->fastest and best looking You'll be able to fit 2 hdds in any xpc, but...

liquid fontz makes one for the floppy, and I think matrix orbital has one too? There's the new Shuttle G5 8300mc, but Im not sure about availabity yet... And you could do the aria... but they're damn ugly.

Just out of curiosity, how many people actually use the card readers? Wouldnt it be easier to just hook up the device (ie., Digital Camera) via usb cable on the front ports?

Agreed... it definately looks like a more refined Qbic. IMO I think the 'P' chasis is just plain ugly. you compare: P Chasis Qbic

After reading the Sudhian forums, it seems that the problems that plague the SN95G5 are: - external USB devices not working correctly and causing system instability - xpc being very picky about what ram is used (easily fixed by using what other successful SN95G5 owners are using) -...

If you want to keep youre current CPU/Ram/GFX then you're best bet is the SN45Gv2 (SN45Gv3 is coming out, but lacks Soundstorm) as it's pretty cheap, and would be a great budget box. But this route isnt much of an upgrade from your current ATX system, other than just switching form factors...

Socket754 isnt very 'future' proof, as I think AMD only has plans to go up to A64 3700+ (that being said, neither one of those shuttles are future proof either, as they are using AGP). For the HDD, definately go with the Samsung... the quietest of the the bunch. Also the SK83G isnt dual...

Only way is to look at the mobo... it'll say whether it's a v1, v1.1, v1.3 or the v2

I was thinking the same thing... I might wait till next month I guess to make the purchase.

yeah I know it'll be a huge bottleneck, but I was wondering if the older and slower ram will hold up for a couple of weeks... It's just that after buying the cpu and the shuttle xpc, I probably wont have the money to buy the ram (thinking about going the Corsair twinx series).

Now that the V2's are available in Canada (I know the v1.3's are good too, but I'd rather have the latest revision), Im getting the new xpc. Anyways, here it goes: SN95G5 A64 3000+ Winchester *512meg PC2100 Samsung (pull from another system) WD 80gig HDD (pull from another system)...

The one I got today is pretty good... minimal backlight leakage and no dead or stuck pixels. The backlight leakage kind of resembles bander's leakage problem in the LCD to the right, -except I only have the minimal problem in the bottom left corner of the screen.... everything else is black.
