I got the SN41G2 last week and I have to say I won't be going back to my tower! Its FANTASTIC!

Couldn't resist and ordered some 2x 512MB Corsair PC3200 Platinum ram, and a 17" TFT (NEC1760NX in black) and a combo DVD/CD-RW drive from Plextor.

Right now my office has never looked so cooool!

My next PC will almost certainly be a Shuttle.

http://www.enigine.com/ have started advertising them in PC Pro - never used them myself.

MBM is what I use Daz .. As Mr Cookie says it takes a little setting up, but it's not rocket science...

If I can find a second hand (cheap) SV25 I was considering replacing my firewall with another one.

There's been a few rumours about problems with nForce2 motherboards (inc the Shuttle) floating around the web. Doesn't look to be anything major:

This one's easy to get round on the shuttle ...

Turn off the power , hold down the <insert> key and power up ( keep holding the key until it POSTS )


This resets it to 100mhz fsb, then start again, this time clocking it 1mhz lower

Been very impressed with mine since I've had it. I bought one of the Evesham E-style Pcs which uses the Shuttle XPC box. Very very nice. Very quiet and the performance is outstanding. I guess it isn't for everyone if you are into doing a lot of PC building and expansion (obviously there is not a lot of room inside), but it is a great PC for most people.
