Not found any information for this combo.

There's a few models that used the 240W PSU (mainly AMD) and due to the location of the DIMM slots the PSU isn't upgradeable.

Wanted to know if my SN95G5 would be capable of running this card (256 or 512MB version), but waiting for someone else to be the test subject.

AMD 64 3000+ Winchester core
2GB PC3200
160GB Seagate HD
DVD-RW
Currently Leadtek 6800LE unlocked
 
Thanks for the note about a sucessful 1900XTX on 240W.

If my PSU is a bit relaxed, would the card throttle down if not getting full requirements? Any chance of damaging the card?

Going by the current pre-order prices, and with just a few days to wait before stock is available. The ATi's put Leadtek 7600GT pricing to shame.

Just hesitant that if it did throttle down I could have got the same results by getting a cheaper 7600GT.
 
Currently in two minds of what to do, so don't rely on me.

On ******* forum someone is buying Sapphire's model to test with a 240W Shuttle. At least with the SN41G2 you can upgrade to a 300W PSU (not cheap). And it 's worth looking to see if the V2 you've got is fitted with a 250W PSU.

I had planned to wait until after the new year before purchasing one (due to postage delays), especially as I've seen the Sapphire has decreased to £152, and the GeCube is just under £150 inc VAT. But want to read about fan noise and if temperature sensing is available on both.

As my memory hasn't arrived I might cancel that order and sell my SN95G5 and get a PCI Express based Shuttle instead of. Especially as my machine is CPU limited to a maximum 3500 Winchester core. And Everquest 2 is a right resource blackhole, so would be interesting attending raids.

EDIT: Oh well forum name is filtered out. It's bound to show up on Google searches for things relating to Shuttle. Begins with a S to help.
 
EDIT: Seems you don't need to remove anything from the Shuttle case. Just takes more effort sliding the card into position.

There's two people using a Sapphire 512MB 1950Pro in a SN95G5, on another forum.

One problem with the Sapphire model is the cards height. So you might have to removed the hinged fixing device on the outside of the Shuttle that holds AGP/PCI card in place. But it depends on how successful you are at sliding the card in.

Looking at Sapphire's site picture of the card you can see how tall the PCB is to the metal bracket where you plug in the display cable.
