Which 939 shuttle to get?

I need to buy a shuttle either today or tomorrow so I can get my PC ready to take away to school with me. I just bought a 7800 GTX because I was originally going to get a SN25P and I only had a 6800 GT AGP. However I was looking throught shuttle's website and it looks like they have a couple more 939 shuttles. Are there any I should consider over the SN25P or is that still the one to get? Thanks a bunch.

EDIT: Looking at shuttles website I guess there's only the ST20G5 to consider since the other 939 is AGP.
 
SN25P is your best bet
Nforce 4 Ultra goodness lol
what else are you putting in ur system?
 
Shuttle's SN95G V3 is a good bet. It's 939 and has AGP.

oh wait you already have a 7800 GTX...well then the SN25P would be your best bet. I'd stay away from the ST20G5 because I think that the ATi chipset is still a little bit buggy. If you plan on OC'ing then the SN25P is the best SFF ATM hands down.
 
Get the SN25P.
It has 350 watt PS, nForce4 Ultra, very good cpu cooling setup.

That 7800gtx will work great in there too.
 
I have tried all three 939 Shuttle's SN25P, ST20G5, SN95G5 and thd SN25P is by far the best. It runs practically silent and stays cool with all of my high end components - with no issues! (FX-55 and 7800GTX). My only gripe is that I can't use my Audigy2 in the SN25P as it does not have a standard PCI slot....so I bought the SN95G5 V3 and an AGP X800XT PE when they were on sale last week at ZZF ;-)

Don't even bother with the ST20G5, I tried two different unit's which I bought a few months apart and both had severe performance / FPS drop offs when gaming. Tried everything to get it working, different CPU's, memory and video cards (from working systems), clean OS builds etc. Has to be realated to the ATI RS480 / ULI South Brdige chipsets that they used in this model!
 
@ dworley: you sold your sn25p? I saw the prob's you were having over at sfftech.
 
Nope, Still have the SN25P, I am leaning towards selling it though since I can't use my Audigy 2 or X-Fi in it. It definitely is the fastest and best overclocker of the lot, so I am having a hard time parting with it...

Sorry to pigging back off a thread, I just picked a Creative 2 nx external USB sound for my SN25P (wasn't to happy with the on-board sound) I'm blown away with the sound that this device produces, My SN25P is all set now :) couldn't be happier. Just my 2 cents
 
I tried the Audigy2 NX and SB Live external USB solutions with my SN25P and neither output true 5.1 surround in BF2.....

I've been thinking of doing the same thing. My concern is with the overhead of using a USB sound card...do you take any FPS hit using the NX external USB vs the onboard Envy24?

I have same question as above (cpu and general resource usage), but also in comparison to an Audigy2 PCI Card.
