Spec me a shuttle

[Stellios]

Right ive had to give up a bit as i dont know what shuttles will take double slot cards etc.

Budget of £550 (give or take a little) for:-
-Shuttle
-CPU
-GFX Card
-RAM

Keyboard, mouse, monitor, DVD drives, HDD etc i already have.

Originally was hoping to stick with my 3200 Venice on skt 939, but after looking at the price of 939 shuttles its not much more to got Core2Duo.

Do me proud OcUK

Cheers

found a review of that specific shuttle here: http://www.sfftech.com/index.php?/articles/show/shuttle_sd37p2_review/introduction , by the looks of it even big graphics cards fit inside they put a 1900xt which uses more power and has a bigger hsf than the 1950pro inside just fine.

What does the X1950pro compare against other cards like the 8800GTS? Never really look at ATi as ive been Nvidia all my life.

much lower than the 8800gts, it compares to the 7900gs i think. a gts bumps that spec to around £600
