Hi,

I don't play games! so dont want anything fancy!
Needs to be good:
Quiet!
I play lots of music, surf web, web authoring, accounting etc.

My current spec:
1GB Ram
FX5200
3.0c P4
460w enermax PSU
80GB HDD
SB Audigy 1
CD-RW

Now I think my ram is buggared so I need new ram!

Now I want a shuttle or sff! Ive seen the shuttle ocuk sell the st62k which has external fanless psu which I like so im thinking something around that?

cheers

X-fi sound card
Aego M speakers
