Hey guys,
My computer just crapped out on me, and so I'm looking to buy myself a SSF system.
I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on this, so I don't need the latest & greatest...just something to get me by.
I currently have a 9800pro AIW card I'd like to put in there and that's about the only contraint. I also would prefer a Shuttle to any other brand (though my mind is somewhat open if anyone has a good argument for me).
My main concerns are how big a PSU/wattage will I need to run the AIW, and after that what's the best model. I'll probably be buying a AMD 2500+. I have no interest in ocing this either. Right now my eye is on the SN45GV2...could I get by with just an SN45G? Is there a different model/make I should be looking at?
Also, how reliable are these machines?
Anyhow, if there's any advice you can give me I'd greatly appreciate it. :)
