The first intel based SLI / Crossfire Shuttle is finally here!
I have been patiently waiting for the SX58H7 since it was first rumored several months ago to replace my trusty old SD32G5.
At the time of this message the SX58H7 barebone system was in stock at Newegg ($709) and MWAVE ($649) -...
LOL - I got tired of waiting on the new Shuttle SX58H7 or the Asus Rampage GENE and decided to upgrade my trusty old Shuttle SD32G5 with some SLI powah!!!
Previously I had modded this Shuttle G5 case to run an 8800GTX and then later upgraded it to use a GTX 280.
Pretty straight forward mod...

Saw this updated SG01 model at FRY's today and took a picture of the new features / specs.
Looks like they added two 80mm fans to the top to help with air flow.
Fits after a few minor mods to the G5 rear chasis frame (had to trim a small section from the rear side support for the heatsink to clear. I also swapped a single slot bracket panel from the rear of my 6800GT to fit it in the single slot.
So far it is running great - I can't believe how much...

Here's a link to the article on the inquirer of a Monarch Hornet with an MATX SLI Motherboard with (2) EVGA 7800 GTX cards!
Link to Inquirer article
Anyone have more info on the Motherboard? I suspect it may be the ellusive EVGA MATX SLI that there were previous pics posted of a prototype.
Well, so far with my fan mod of adding (2) 60mm fans directly above the SLI Video cards - my high temps observed were 74C for the inside card and 78C for the outside card and 48C for the CPU. This was after a 2 hour game of BF2 this evening with all video options set to high and several other...
There have been ALOT of unanswered questions regarding the SN26P:
1. Can the PSU handle (2) 7800GTX cards in SLI?
2. Will it run stable for extended periods of gaming?
3. What kind of heat problems will exist with (2) high end video cards dumping heat inside the case?
4. How loud is it at...

I am experiencing severe slowdowns that last for 10-15 seconds in BF2 that drop my framerate to 10-20 fps only on my ST20G5. By swapping hardware between my other systems - I can not duplicate the problem on my SN25P or my SLI PC.
I had a few other performance issues with the BIOS in the...
Tested the latest official 71.84 WHQL driver and it did not fix the "jittery" rolling screen issue when running HL2 and CS:S widescreen resolutions: 1680x1050 DVI or 1280x768 VGA with SLI.
Worakaround is to select 1280x1024 or any other 4:3 resolution or run 1680x1050 in a window.
NOTE...
After getting my new PC up and running I discovered that I get a "shimmering" effect when selecting any Widescreen aspect ratio resolutions in HL2 or CS Source to use with my Dell 2005FPW Monitor at 1600x1050. (I suspect this is a problem in any games). The display problem acts like the refresh...
