Another SD37P2

[WoZZeR]

Well, my other SD37P2 has arrived back in blighty (I've just got to get it sent over here), it went back to Shuttle after the PS went pop.

Hmmm, fancy a moderate setup for it, for silence, a nice sensible quiet home PC and not too much cash waving at it. Passive GFX perhaps.

Any ideas.

Yeah, I'd thought about £450ish, will probably go for the E4300, 2GB RAM, perhaps 2 mirrored drives for safety (eek another floppy drive to purchase!) and use it as a file server as well, will investigate GFX cards after tea.

OK, decisions are so tricky here's my latest basket exc. of course the Floppy Drive:

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 £111.61
Intel E6300 £119.84
WD RE 250GB SATA-II 16MB £57.56
WD RE 250GB SATA-II 16MB £57.56
Pioneer DVD±RW £19.96
BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC £84.59
XP Home SP2 £58.74

I'll switch the Corsair for the GeIL in the other SD37. The 2 drives are incase I RAID them and I like WD'S. Still got my first WD Drive I bought in 1996!

Any price/performance tweaks to be made here?
