Looking at all of your cool SFF pics the [H] has me sold. I'm really interested(for a long time actually) in doing a SFF system(shuttle type box).

But my problem is that I have a Geforce 6800 Ultra video card AGP. Its a $300+ card and it hurts me to get rid of it and buy a PCI E when it plays everything that I want super great.

I know that card has a dual slot cooler. I been looking online(ty [H]) and found some 1 slot coolers that I should be able to use, so that is not a problem.

I don't really use anything else other than a TV tuner card PCI. Hopefully it has built in wireless, but I can always buy a USB dongle.

Much appreciated on any recommendations.

I haven't been on the Hard for so long (can't think of a better place for advice). Don't know nothing good about CPUs and GPUs anymore. Feel so ancient, still living in the AMD XP2500+ days :(

PS: Is AMD still king of budget and good performance CPUs?
 
Ah things have changed a smidge...Now it's a $30 card and the intel core 2 duo chips are best for budget and performance.

Which Shuttle case are you looking at, so we can make some recommendations?

If you are willing to go a bit larger, microATX boards will give you several more case choices and alot more flexibility on parts.
