Best Shuttle? SFF?

[scoopex]

I agree shuttles are nice enough pcs and for a lot of people i don't doubt they would be perfect. I'm a picky so and so though and for the same (or similar) money as a bare bone shuttle you can get a much more flexible system imho, like you said if the mobo dies then you can easily pick another up. Also i wouldn't trust the 200w psu in a shuttle to power a reasonably powerful gaming rig complete with top endish gfx cards ie 7800/1800 or better. Maybe they would i don't know but the way things are going my SFF could end up being my gaming rig if i can find a decent clocking mobo (i dunno why but i just have to tweak it's a weakness of mine ) and i'll put my 1900xtx in it and i'll have no doubts of it working with my 600w psu.

amd dual core 4800+ clocked to 2.8
ati 1900x-tx overclocked
pioneer dvd writer
3 seagate 250gb hard drives
1 usb wireless device
2 gig g.skill ram

All the above run 24-7 in my shuttle SN26P setup with its original PSU.

Can someone explain what is meant by a modular PSU? I have this huge Hyper and as fabulous as it is the wires are hugely long (iirc) and I guess tidying them up will be......interesting, just checked and I see the Hiper is modular as well

The Sugo looks great and with a Biostar you can screw with OCing...if thats your thing as well.

Will the stock HS from a 3700 SD slot straight in do you think? I see people are using the TT Blue Orb (pents afaik).
