Shuttle
Thinking of buying a shuttle, but debating whether or not to actually get one because of how much I might use it.
Basically I want a computer I can move about easily, to work and to friends houses, I say work because on weekends I can just hook up my own comp and play WoW all day
So it's either a shuttle or a laptop i'm looking to get,
For a shuttle I want something which would run silently and still perform well, I have a 7800 GT I can put in it but it has a zalman vf700 cooler on it so would need two expansion slots to fit it into, I also have an arctic freezer 64 pro which is going spare but again it needs to fit inside the shuttle system so it might not.
I am planning to put:
1GB of memory
Opteron 146
Hard drive
DVD writer
network card/sound card (I need to network it to main PC in order to xfer stuff over to it and maybe a sound card so I can watch movies with it too.
I want to keep it as silent as possible so that if I leave it on overnight by accident after watching a film or something it doesn't annoy me too much.
And also finally can I plug it into my 2nd DVI port on my NEC 20" WS monitor and just switch the input on the monitor to display one comps picture on the monitor at a time?
sorry for the confusing post,
budget? don't wanna spend more than £500 or so really especially with no monitor and such too
cheers.

and at least won't have videocard/PCI fitting problems, as long as depth/PSU/hd issues (ie MATX cubes)
