Hello all,

im looking to get a new SFF pc built over August and just looking around at whats on the market, sadly i have lost touch with with mobo's and cpu's!

my current rig is plenty fast enough, but im really bottle necked with having to have a single slot graphic card.

im a very big shuttle fan and have been using them for best part of 10 years, however im well aware over the last few years lots of other SFF pc's shells and motherboards have come out. so would be intrastate in them.

At present im learning towards the SH67H3 shuttle.

Any advise or thoughts would be welcome.
 
yeah would like to see that thread mate, and yeah im open to other options to shuttle. the phenom 965 is plenty poweful for what i do and with a SSD its lighting quick. its just the limitations of a single slot gcard that hold me back, and will want to be able to run BF3 when it comes, also 4gb memory is fine but again, that is max and if i built a new pc i would be looking for 8gb and with the view of upgrading that if need be.

Zotac Z68 ITX
i5-2500k
8GB RAM (2x4GB)
580/6970 or 590/6990 depending how flush you feel.
SSD
HDD
H50/AXP-140 cooler

Put it all in an SG07, job done.

That would be optimal and its what I am working my way towards.
All depends on your budget and other needs. I have a 1TB HDD for just my games atm but what with the way this summer sale is going I forsee me needing a 2TB after the Christmas sales.
SG08 is a cleaner looking SG07 with USB3.0 front ports and should be out September if you can wait.

nice... still undecided on what to do, will do some googling!

so how much do you reckon that setup cost you (if u dont mind me asking)
 
cheers for the info mate, i like the slimline drive option on the SG range, shame shuttle have not gone down that route.
