I decided to put this in the PSU category since All I am concerned with about the SFF is the PSU.

The Latest and greatest model the Shuttle SN25P has a 350 Watt PSU.
Can this be enough for all the newest hardware.

I mean this thing has the capibility of holding a Dual Core Athlon
2 Sticks of Ram
PCIe Card - 7800GTX
It has 4 SATA Ports

I mean you can beef this thing up.

I wanted to get an Athlon X2 4800+ 2.4Ghz per Core
2GB DDR400 Ram
7800GTX
2 Raptor Hard drives
1 300GB hard Drive
DVD Burner

I mean can this little PSU handle all this? or am I just overdoing it.

The PSU's used by Shuttle are little work horses. If that unit is 12v heavy then it may very well be able to run a dual core A64 since it's power draw is in the same envelope as the single's, a 7800GTX since it is close to the 6800, and most the rest.
 
Think about it, one (maybe two) hard drives to power, a single optical drive, one AGP/PCI/PCI-E slot, and all sorts of peripherals integrated into the motherboard. Not to mention they're very efficient PSUs. Can't compare SFF PSUs to regular ATX models.

Well yeah I was thinking about it in detail thats why. I know you cant compare the Shuttles PSU with Regular ones, but.. still..

Its more Like 2 Raptors for sure... maybe a 3rd Bigger Hard drive
DVDRW Drive
(It does have 4 SATA Mobo ports) so whats the good of them if you cant use all of them if your power isnt enough.
Athlon X2 .... 2 Cores... Sure its not Double the Power of a single Core CPU, But their is an increase
2 GB of ram (2x1GB) whatever that pulls
7800GTX.... so whatever the PCIe slot gives + the Plug I have to use
Plus the power for all the onboard sstuff like Audio and NIC, and All the USB Ports.

But we will see huh....
 
I'd be interested in your results here, because I'm on the verge of buying one of the SN25p boxen to build for a friend of mine. I'm currently running an SN85G4V3 here that has the stock shuttle 250 watt power supply in it, and I'm running the following in it without issues:

200gig SATA HD
NEC 16x DVD-R
A64 3700+ socket 754 CPU
ATi X800 Pro 256
2 Gigs of Corsair DDR

I know you're talking about more than that in the SN25P, but I've been *real* impressed with the Shuttle Power Supplies I've seen.

Keep us posted on your findings.....
