Old thread talking about it and my stupid problem here(My error, I was very lucky)

It's why it was chosen+ the fact that it was a nforce2 with dual vga.

The layout is really nice, the HSF could use some work, could use some better cooling.
But most of the wires are tucked away/tied, Very easy to get things in and out. And the inside slook decent compared to shuttles at that price.
 
what is up with the ram? does it have little protectors for it or something?

edit hmm nm, heatspreaders?

cheap heatspreaders from svc. Thats my old ram(I'm now running geil, still value ram but has better timing)

And everyone says heatspreaders do nothing, but It stablized my previous overclock. Without them My system would randomly reboot at 2.4ghz+
 
yea a lot of people are using those lcd's at lumenlab.com. Can't think of one person that wasn't impressed with its picture, be sure to test out both dvi and vga if you can.
 
urgh , case is nice ipod look , but interns is a bit tacky 4 my liking. mebbe coz i have 5 shuttles :cool:

i'll be building more of them so I'll def be testing the dvi later
 
is the cpu fan/psu fan loud? im thinking about one of those cases but a little weary bc im picky about having quiet computers
 
Nice and clean dude. Good stuff.

Oh and I do have a suggestion, too. Have you ever thought about putting a Zalman NB heatsink in that box? Me thinks it would cool alot better for about $10 bucks.

I'm not the one working on it. So all is well. I tried to push 19" LCDs but no go.

Its quiet when its not running Full speed(Temp control)
I wouldnt trust this case/hsf for a hot running chip.

I hate messing with NB/VGA HSF's. But Its a consideration if i have to do another.

My next SFF Work PC is a Shuttle s754 I Just built. Pics/Thread later
