To cut a long and utterly boring story short, i'm looking to build a mid-range SFF computer, ideally Shuttle based.
However, one problem. I literally have no idea what to buy. With hardware getting bigger and bigger these days, are shuttles even a viable option anymore?
I'm looking to spend no more than £400 on the shuttle itself. No real requirement for massive amounts of storage as I can easily use an external drive for the main bulk of content; music, videos, pictures etc. I mainly use my 360 for gaming, so a ridiculous video card isn't critical, although I would like to try the new Star Wars MMORPG, in some detail at least. It's not Crysis 2 by any means but something with a little bit of power is probably needed.
That's about it really. Also, I don't need to buy Windows 7 as I already have a copy.
Fire away!
