Shuttle SN25P Overclocking? PCI-Lock?

Hey, I'm debating on whether to get a SN25P or not... I'd be putting in a 7800GT in there, but my main concern is overclocking options. I've read a lot of reviews saying that there is no PCI lock and that it can't overclock very well. Ofcourse, I'm a gamer and I already have the 3700+ that I'll either be putting in this or a Jetway mobo in a X-Qpack. Now can anyone confirm if these SN25P shuttles do overclock well and do have a PCI lock? That's the one thing preventing me from buying it right now. Thanks
 
My SN25P is sitting at 2500HT with a venice3200 stock voltage and stopped here because, well, because I did. I did take it to 2600 but had a few issues, this was all at stock voltage, which on my shuttle reads at 1.38 not 1.4. I could easily go higher but stock voltage is just fine right now. I used Eclipse's athlon 64 overclocking guide to set up the system and from within windows took the HTT past 300ht, actually got it too 320 stable before I got crazy and jumped it to 380 and locked the system up. If you read through the past threads you will see that the SN25P does overclock really well with stock cooling. My system is set on smart fan, can hardly hear it when it is right next to me, I put a small shelf under my desk, put the shuttle down there and now I do not even notice it, at all.
 
Wow, that's quite nice, what about the reports about there being no PCI Lock? I imagine that'd mess up some components once you overclock THAT high... also how are your temps? Thanks!
 
I just got my SN25P from ZZF (good price by the way and shipped in 2 days) so I'll throw my old CBBHD 3200+ that did 2.71 Ghz on a MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI in the shuttle and give ya'll an update of what my OC is.
 
Not sure about the pci-e lock thing, mine is sitting at 100 according to clockgen. Unless clockgen is wrong, and I don't think it is, the PCI-E lock works just fine. The 350w power supply does not seem to have any problems either. Obviously this is my personal experiences and I do not know what other people are doing with their systems. I am very happy with mine.
