Hi all,

Looking to spend some of my hard earned cash on a new machine. Was originally feeling lazy and was looking at one of the overclocked systems sold by overclockers and looking to spend £1000 on the base unit. Now the missus has seen my plans and kiboshed it on the size of the unit - my current system is one of the Shuttle SN45 systems and sits nicely on my desk but is looking tired and is 3-4 years old

Anyway whilst I still have some idea what I'd like - on the SFF front I haven't got a clue what is feasible esp on the graphics card front - so many of them are too big/hot to fit a SFF case!. So bearing in mind I'd look to spend up to £1000 and will use it for gaming + office stuff, would like to overclock if I can could someone put up a good spec??? Chipwise I'm certain on a Q6600 as for the rest :confused:

cheers

thanks for that - I'll look into both those options you gave and have a hunt around for those 8800GT cards

cheers :D
 
thanks guys - just one more question??

I'm leaning towards the Shuttle at the mo - does it have the power to run either the 8800GT or the HD 3870 properly - given that I'll only have 1 maybe 2 drives and an optical drive?

Cheers
