Silverstone SG08

Wow pricy was thinking around £160 max you could get the latest shuttle for £203.16 delivered.

The difference in quality and features is great imo, that and a shuttle isn't the best platform for upgrades due to a unique motheboard format I believe.

That would never happen when you consider the current price of the SG07 is over £160. I will be getting one just hoping OcUK gets them in cheaper. I did ask in the new products/suggestions and rjkoneill said he would ask Ace Modder but hasn't got back to me yet.

Price has dropped to just over £150 which is cheaper than the SG07. Not bad.

It is apparently available as of the 30th but so far I have only found one UK retailer claiming to be getting any/have any.

Bradmax57 · 27 Nov 2011 at 21:22

Right probably the same place then

Curunen · 27 Nov 2011 at 21:41

Yeah now that is a very good price.
Just need some good itx boards now...

Bradmax57 · 27 Nov 2011 at 21:56

im not really all that bothered about overclocking but I do like IRST so im thinking about the asrock board....

Gigabyte GA-H67N-USB3?

Or do you mean something comparable to the old H55N as I don't think that will be coming till Z75 at the very earliest.

Curunen · 28 Nov 2011 at 18:02

^Apart from the gigabyte h67n, which is pretty much the only solid choice.

You're right, it looks like Z75/7 for new ones at the earliest. I just hope there's a bit more variety and performance.

TheRedZealot · 28 Nov 2011 at 18:31

Either SG08 + H55N or SG08 + Sandybridge, I wonder how much money I have spare

As long as they aren't all H77 again the lower TDP on Ivy should make for some better overclocking on ITX boards same as the lower TDP of Westmere allowed for the H55N to become great. I think I'll be staying with Sandy till Haswell though. More looking forward to GCN and Kepler as my big hardware purchase for the next year.

In other news placed my order hopefully arriving next week :cool:

TheRedZealot · 29 Nov 2011 at 19:16

If there are any unsold pre order units tomorrow/thursday I'll get one ordered, then it's either buying an i5 and board or trying to pick up a H55N or similar for my I5 750.

Curunen · 29 Nov 2011 at 23:48

^Good, let us know how both of you find it.

TheRedZealot · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:02

It all depends on how big the M-itx market truly is, chances are I will buy one and be without a compatible board until after christmas.

There are a bunch of B grade H55N's in the clearance section but at £82 a pop I would rather not, I believe they were that price on launch and they are now discontinued.

Curunen · 30 Nov 2011 at 00:24

Yeah, I'll be waiting until ivybridge in any case, so there should be some new boards by then too.

TheRedZealot · 30 Nov 2011 at 08:10

I intend on moving to Ivybridge in april/may time providing there are some decent boards available, there should also be new graphics cards available by then so I should see a large performance increase whilst having a much smaller system than my current A05N.

Annoyingly the price has now gone back up to just under £180.

Especially as I had been waiting for 2 days now for the "due today" status to change to in stock so I can order the whole of my new build at the same time so it arrives at the same time!

Ah thats annoying. It still says due today but I seriously doubt that they are getting a late night delivery so looks like I won't be getting my Friday delivery and I bet it will come on Saturday when I am out all day and then won't be able to collect it till Monday :mad:
