Going to uni soon and will need a computer. I would prefer a SFF since I dont want to pay an extra premium for a laptop since I will not be needing a portable computer.

I am looking for something midrange and AMD. I was thinking about the ST20G5 and the SN95G5V3, possibly some of the G2 models (SN41G2). I would like the option of dual screens although I doubt that will ever happen. The only part I have is a NEC 3250A which is black and I dont know how that will look on a silver shuttle.

I either want something that can handle the new games if I can afford it. If I cant afford that then it will be the other end of the spectrum for just movie playback, music, possibly tv etc.

Any advice on what would fit this? Would love the SN25P but that is way too expensive.
 
So the only thing you have is a DVD drive?

Am I correct?

If so, what is your price head?

We need to have more information to help your properly.

Your best bet would be something like:

Q-Pack $85
s939 Rxpress200 MB $85
AMD s939 A64 3000+ Retail $150
PCI-Express GeForce 6600 GT ~$160
1 GB PC3200 DDR RAM ~120
SATA 1 HD ~$90

The system above could use some more parts put into it, but it will run and play games decently.

I will pick out exact parts once you tell us a price.
 
I am from the UK so prices are a bit more expensive. Will need a monitor in the price aswell. Thinking around £600-700 for everything. I dont like the aspire Q-pack and think the antec aria is a bit too big. I would like something simple so possibly Aopen.

Also, my black DVD writer would have to fit with the case
 
I don't know much about what UK prices are.

As such, I will not be able to help you much.

AOpen is really good if you want cheap, though.

Make sure it supports a slot video card if you plan to do some gaming on it, though.
