Sanzy · 2 Feb 2006 at 02:01

I was wondering if anbody has a Asus S-presso or even a Shuttle as im wanting to get the following :

Asus S-presso

3.2ghz P4 or 2.8ghz dont know yet
1gb ram
6800le unlocked with artic cooler
80gb hdd
dvd rw

I think it has a 350w psu do you think this can power all of that and could i squeze the gfx card in

? thnx

Note : Well just used Power Calculator and says 255w so leaves me 95w should be plenty then

just a case of will the graphics fit

I have a Shuttle with:

3GHz P4 Northwood
1GB RAM
6800GT
250GB SATA HD
PCI Sound Card
DVD RW

All powered by a 250W PSU without a single problem.

Only problem you'll have if you go the Shuttle route is the Artic Cooler on the graphics card. It won't fit.

Shuttle PSU's are VERY good quality.

I have an SB75G2 with

P4 3.0 GHZ at 3.4
1gb Geil Ultra
9800 PRo AIW
PCI ADSL Modem
DVDRW
300GB Sata
250GB Sata
and all USBs filled (remote bob / Cards Readers / Joystick / Ipod / Iriver etc)

No problems what so ever with the 250w thats in there.

I have an sn45gv2, amd tho but it has this lot running:

Barton 2800+
All-in-wonder radeon 9600, passive cooled
512meg dual channel hynix ram
Seagate 120gig drive
Pioneer dvr110dbk
Audigy
Shuttle card reader
Remote bob
Xbox twin joystick port
Usb hub with two competion pro retro joysticks
200watt standard shuttle psu

We use this as our htpc and video recorder, it does an excellent job

Sorry to hijack the thread, but could a 7800 GS (AGP) be run of a silenx shuttle psu 250W?

Other spec: DVDRW, 250gb hard drive, 2gb RAM, 3Ghz p4 478

I'd be interested in this too, it states it requires a 350w PSU but then again so did my xfx6600gt, which works soundly on my silentx 250w.

i don't see why it wouldn't, if not there is a 300w available which i don't think costs too much

darkgen · 12 Feb 2006 at 17:39

A silentx300w is around 60 quid which turns a 210 quid 6/8 month stop gap into a 270+ quid upgrade. For another 100/150 more I could upgrade to a 64 setup.

I dont find shuttles have enough space for what i want, and im always worried about heat but matx on the other hand

My 350watt in my shuttle is powering an overclock x1900xt-x,amd 4400 daul core,two 7200rpm sata harddrives and dvd writer..no problems..

Two weeks ago before i brought my x1900xt-x card..i was running two overclocked 7800gtx cards in sli..no psu problems.(just a little to much heat from the twin 7800gtx cards.)
