Im thinking about building a shuttle this summer, i want to know if there will be any over heating problems or lack of power etc..

heres what im gonna use

amd64 3200+
radeon 9800pro
1gig of pc3200 ddr
80gig HD
DVD/CD-RW combo drive.

Also do shuttles have the ability to support 2 hard drives?

thanks in advance.
 
yes 2 harddrives

2 x 3.25 bays and 1 x 5.25

so if u have 2 harddrives you won't have a floppy

looks good
 
Two hard drives is fine if you don't want a floppy or one of those 729292 in 1 card reader things.

You have a lot of power-hungry stuff in there. I've heard the 9800 Pro's like the 250W. Just try it out. If the 200W doesn't work, get the 250W. I'm running everything in my sig off of the standard 200W. Good luck.
 
if you never need to use a card reader then get that one, if you do, get a shuttle with a floppy drive slot and get the Atech pro 9in1 card reader so you can read XD cards, your friends may need you to upload some porn pics that they took from their camera
 
I hate shuttle with a passion, the worst motherboard I had ever had, slow, cheap, useless.

shuttles aren't that slow.. they benchmark comparable to fullsized desktop systems
 
It's funny how the brand Shuttle has become synonymous with SFF.

The current Shuttle SFF systems perform on par with full sized systems. I've also found them to overclock decently and to be completely stable.

They list 240 watts for the PSU, I was doing fine with my overclocked p4 and 9800 pro with 200 watts, so you should have enough power for all that gear.

Looks like one smoking little box with what you're planning to cram inside of it. Buth figurativly and litteraly. SFF systems do run warmer than full size systmes, but the cooling is still adequate.

Best of luck.

Cleanslate, sounds like a personal issue. :p I've had the opposite experience with Shuttle, but then I've only been their customer for about a year and a half.
