The motherboard on my Shuttle SN95G5 has died so im left with;
AMD 64 3500+
2x512MB Crosair 3200 XMS PRO XL
Connect3D ATI X800Pro
74GB WD Raptor
250GB WD
SB Audigy 2
I still want a small case but feel that i no longer want a shuttle. So far im looking at getting;
Silverstone Sugo SG01-evolution
FoxConn 6150K8MA-8EKRS - seems to get possitive comments here.
Tagan 430W Modular Silent PSU
I have heard someone say a modular PSU is perfect for the SG01 and someone say that you want to stay away from modular. can anyone confirm one way or the other?
Does it effect how it fits in? i read there is very little room between the PSU and the CD drive.
Heatsink - seems to be a hard choice to go with this case. It needs to be under 78mm in height to fit under the PSU. The SilverStone NT06 seems like it would fit the job but i can't work out if,
1) It is ment to be used with NO 120mm fan on when being used in the SG01?
2) the good thing about the NT06 is that it sits right under that PSU FAN so all the hot air gets taken straight out the exhaust. However from the looks of it the fan on top of the NT06 looks like it is blowing down so wouldnt this be fighting afainst the PSU fan??
Graphics Card - Seeing as i need to buy a motherboard it seems like a good time to make the move to a PCI-E card. Im thinking a 7900 GT would be about right to go with the rest of the build, What do you guys think? but dont have much of an idea which to go for? is there really that much differance between all the GT's as they seem to vary a lot in price. which has been getting good reviews?
any other problems or changes that people would make to the spec would be very helpful.
