Im thinking of getting 1 of these, and i thought id just check to make sure everything works as i think it does before i order.

As far as i know, all i need with this is a CPU, RAM, GPU, HDD and DVD Drive and i can slap em all in and be good to go. I already have these (Q6600, 4GB DDR2, 4870 1GB, 500GB HDD and a normal DVD writer drive). So heres the thing -

I assume it uses its own type of cooling system, i just need to put the CPU in and use whatever the Shuttle uses to cool it.

The PSU, will it be enough to power everything ? It says its 400w, and does it provide 2 PCIe connectors or do i need a molex converter thing ?

Will my GPU even fit in ? Its this exact 1 -

Would it be safer for power/space/heat reasons to get a smaller, single slot GPU (4850) ?

Anybody currently running 1 of these ? Have any pics spare so i can see how well your stuff packs into it ?

Thanks in advance if you can help .

Ok its all in, GPU was a pain thanks to the PSU cables (there still squished against it). Just checking to see if these idle temps can be considered "normal" for this case -

I did a FurMark Xtreme burn test, and the GPU temp went up to 109 at the highest and never went further for a good 10 minutes, this seems damn toasty to me, but ive read that its capable of operating much higher than that (possibly better if i downgrade to a single slot 4850 ?).

The back of the case (above the PSU) and the left of the case (where it blows out the CPU heat) get quite hot, do any other SP35P2 owners find it the same ?
