shuttle computer the living room

[Larnica]

hiya chaps

how much am i looking at for a "budget" shuttle computer? will be connected to the tv and just used for internet, messing around, office etc. dont even mind having a stab at building one myself

might be able to save myself some pennies as I have the following (not sure if it will fit in a shuttle);

dual layer dvd drive
7950GT 256mb graphics card (two infact!)
keyboard/mouse
now i have a M2n-SLI deluxe motherboard (not sure if it wil fit?)
if it does fit that will be great, as it has a dual core AM FX62 CPU / 2gb ddr2 ram.

cheers

Shuttle computers come as a barebones system, so they come with the otherboard already, and all the cable is wired in for you too, all you neeed to do is plug the compnents into the unit. If you are looking at a Shuttle and not an SFF PC, tehn all you will need will be a GFX card, RAM and a CPU, then any extras such as drives.

They are a doddle to build, but can be a bit fiddly as space is restricted.
