Hey, im giving up on the shuttle sn25p and need replacement for it

Things i have already
x1800xt 256 (pci-e)
x2 4600 (939)
mushkin 2gig 4000 blackline (ddr)
dvd drive
raptor

so what i need to is CASE, PSU, SOUND(ONBOARD TO SAVE ££), MBOARD, CPU COOLER,

I think ill go for a superlanboy, as its nice and also cheap. i dont really need sli, im not that rich to have 2 cards.

I want to order 2morrow morning as my shuttle has been dead for a month now and keep getting the impression its out of warranty, so ill be selling the dead barebone on that aution site place.

I want to do a good overclock on this x2 4600 and have the nice ram for it, so i need a board that can take it.

(case lanboy i think)
PSU =
Mboard =
Cpu Cooler (ninja i think)although a little pricey??

Cheers for reading guys, i know i do go on a bit :o

You clock the crap out of your 4600+ on the DFI board, DFI are the best overclocking boards for 939.
 
many thanks for you help in the end i ordered close to what you suggested, i wimped out on the 500w and got a 400w, just because i dont have an internal dvd drive, im only running 2 hard disks, and my all my current kid works on the shuttle on its 350w. maybe im wrong, but im really strapped for cash :(

Ive realised i still have an old coolermaster ATC 110 (think thats the model) in the cupboard, so ill use that heavy old beast, that motherboard looks a real good deal at the moment and it has lots of pretty colours so it must be cool!

Also that cpu cooler you suggested looks too good value to miss out on, just a shame i dont have more cash.

But atleast i might get a more reliable machine than my shuttle. dont think ill buy one of them again, Size/style were great, everything else was not.

Think ill keep the case and see if i can pick up a second hand mboard for it and turn it into a nice Home Cinema jobby now that hdmi cards are coming mainstream.

Once again thanks for you speedy and detailed advice. Cheers.
