advise require for moving full size rig

gib786 · 25 Mar 2006 at 01:00

currently have a amd 64 4000 with ac 64 freezer, 7800gtx with zalman cooler as well as 2 hd's and a dvd burner all shoved into a wavemaster. Im wanting to move it to a smaller pc case, mini itx sizeish. just looking for advise on what case and mobo to go for

cheers!

only thing that will fit that lot in is either a mATX mobo and case of some flavour (maybe a silverstone sugo case?) or the Shuttle SN25P/26P

if the graphics card was only single slot (without the zalman) then also the shuttle ST20G5

of course you could always mod the case to fit the cooler

thanks, what if i was to change back to the stock gfx cooler and the stock hsf and fan instead of the ac 64?

the shuttles ICE cpu cooler is very good, you wouldnt need to use the ac 64 at all.

and if you wanted to keep the zalman, then you can. i was just saying that if you changed it back to the stock cooler then you'd have 1 extra shuttle to choose from

thanks for the advice cokecan72, ive decided to go with the silverstone sugo with an Asus A8N-VM instead of the shuttle sn25p, mainly because the sugo's build qality looks a lot better, just gotta figure out what cooler will fit in the sugo now!

its a good choice. always did like the look of them sugo's

though tbh i think their build quality is on par with shuttles from reviews ive read of them, which is pretty darn good

Well i just built my first shuttle system (sn26p) and i have to say that the build quality is excellent.
