I've been buying Shuttles for the last 3-4 years now after I used to build my own from scratch but now I'm after a larger case so I can dabble in SLI / Crossfire and run everything a lot cooler and (hopefully) quieter. Mainly I want to be able to run games with all the eye candy at 1920x1200.
So heres my initial spec that I'm thinking of building next month. Would appreciate any suggestions on changes I should make and why :
Motherboard : Asus P5W DH Deluxe
CPU : Intel E6600 2.4Ghz
Heatsink : Scythe Infinity or Ninja
Memory 4GB Geil Ultra DDR2 PC6400 (Unless there are issues with 4GB)
Graphics : Nvidia 7950GX2
Hard Drives : 2x WD Raptor 150GB in RAID
Case : Antec P180 Black
PSU : Seasonic S12 600W
DVD : Samsung SATA 16x DVD-RW (to get rid of any IDE + SATA issues)
I know the P5W won't support SLI when quad SLI is available so either I will have to change to ATI or swap the motherboard....I don't see that as a problem but at the moment the 7950GX2 seems the best card for running at 1920x1200.
