Looking to upgrade my SN85, loved it to pieces but its time to move on.

When i do these upgrades i tend to go pretty bleeding edge because i want it to last me a couple of years.

Heres what i have
Shuttle XPC SD37P2 Aluminium Barebones System - Intel Core 2 Duo (LGA775) £255.99(£300.79)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) (£115.14) £97.99
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail £167.99(£197.39)
PowerColor ATI Radeon X1950 Pro Extreme SILENT Heatpipe 512MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £129.99(£152.74)
Samsung SpinPoint T HD501LJ 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM

What do you think ? will the graphics card fit (I know thats a common question with shuttles !

Rig is for gaming and running FAH plus all the usual stuff, will have vista ultimate on it too :)
 
Ok, i'll look into the other version. I won't be putting a TV card in there and it is mainly for gaming with portability, plus I really like shuttles :)
 
I couldn't find one so went with my original spec bar the graphics card which i dropped back to a non heat pipe 256 version which should mean the second slot is free still.

Ordered it all yesterday but it wasn't sent :(

I already have a Lightscribe drive that i will move over but this may change as its crossed my mind that i could sell the old shuttle as a complete unit to someone in my family.
