New SN25P Spec - Needs checking

PureAppleJuice · 20 Apr 2006 at 21:43

Hey, just wanted to confirm my new build before I go buying everything;

Shuttle SN25P
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+
2 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 NCQ 250GB
G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000

then either PowerColor ATI Radeon X1800 XT 512MB or XFX GeForce 7900 GT Extreme Edition 256MB

Any major errors? Foolish mistakes?
Cheers.

Looks ok to me, but then I am expecting my first 25P to be delivered today

Looks fine to me and as i have the SN26P i can only say good things about shuttle.

Enjoy it.

scoopex - as I am new to shuttle's and they have a propreitary cpu cooling arrangement I wanted to ask a question

did you use , or would you recommend using as5 along with the cpu cooler- or is this redundant question?

In the shuttle case you get some to spread on your cpu and yes i used it.

sorry to be pedantic, decent as5 or standard goop?

er you just get random stuff with suttle. buy some AS5 and also 2 sata cables, as in a lot of cases the supplied cables are the cause to random crashing.

thank you for comfirming this for me, I bought a couple of akasa 45cm sata cables ( even these are probably too long for shuttle's but couldnt find shorter)

Cheers for checking it over guys, will order those SATA cables too! And some AS5.

yeah that will all fit in perfectly. Pretty much the same as mine at the moment.

cpu, 2 sata hds, x1800xt, 2 sticks of ram

you can put in three hds if you want. Or a FD.

Im looking to have my raptor in mine with 2 400gb satas raided for backup and storage.

Go for it, they are wicked little systems.
