My new 8800gtx is a nice tight fit in my shuttle....

I don't think you can get a much tighter fit then this....

lol thats mad, about 14months ago I had the sn26p i think...the sli one with a 4800+ and two XFX 7800GTX and my cards were 90+c while gaming, was getting artifacts all over so I sold it all.

LOL...I use to run two leadtek 7800gtx in SLI overclocked to 490/1400 (if i remember the overclock numbers right)

I had no problems with artifacts with them...

Thats gonna be a nice hot box

Air cooled in my old big case with plenty vents, 8800 GTX - 85 deg peeking

The highest i seem my 8800gtx reach is 80c so far....But having only a amd 4400 x2 cpu it don't stess the 8800gtx out enough to make it reach very high temps...

Ps yeah the temps of the CPU rise dramatically when gaming!

Before the CPU would be 40ish full load but now it goes up to near 70! Oh well single core Anthlon64 CPU's R cheap as cheaps...

My cpu temps have been fine...Remember the sn26p has a 70mm & 92mm cpu fan vs 70mm & 80mm for a sn25p...

The top mounted raptor harddrive is my only worry it seems so far...

These 8800gtx cards seems to give out a lot less heat then my last x1900xt-x did..

 

[chaparral]

Does it work? What is the PSU in that thing? and how long till it blows up?

The PSU a 350watt (two rails of 17A total 34amp)...

I use one them plug in the wall adaptors that tell you how many watts is being drawed..The max i seen on so far is about 280watts..
It's mostly around the 240watt to 250watt when playing games (1920x1200 4AA,16xAF) with a few random peaks to 270watts...

 

[chaparral]

Also guys....The 8800gtx maybe much bigger and much faster then a ATI x1900xt-x...But the 8800gtx uses 10watts of power less then a x1900xt-x under full load...and the 8800gtx seems to give out less heat then the x1900xt-x..

And my plug in watt meter showing 280watts being drawed underload,is roughly the same as this test...

I know that Shuttle PSU's are good but running a set-up like that on 'any' 350W PSU is asking for trouble, but each to their own. If it runs for more than 3 months I will be 'enlightened'

I been running this shuttle sn26p with two 7800gtx in SLI and then a ati x1900xt-x before my 8800gtx for about 18months.
