I got the shuttle and HDD/cpu from other places bought the price down abit more

Just waiting for the cpu and hdd then I be putting them together.....
 
Very well thanks.

I was advised to not run x64 but I have to say its been 100% stable, and all my hardware is supported. The only mentionable hiccup was to do with the keyboard.. the media elite keyboard (Logitech) was randomly repeating letters when typing. For example, typing "games" would sometimes result in "gamesssssss" and the letter would only stop when I hit backspace.

After a bit of Googling I found that this was to do with the keyboard ITSELF, and since have changed to a Raptor K1; the problem went away!!

Very pleased with the build quality of the Shuttle, and not to mention the thing is QUICK!!! If I were you I'd use the nVIDIA driver for the LAN, purely because its easier to install along with the chipset driver as opposed to installing the LAN seperate using the Marvell drivers.

....oh, and BF2 plays like a dream on 'Ultra-High' thanks to some tweaking (for the tweak go to http://www.tweakguides.com)

I used to love Logitech keyboards, but last year at work i got a wireless keyboard/mouse set. I had the exact same problem, I tried tweaking keyboard settings, even the fiddling with the repeat delay, etc settings. Tried older logitech software, then just gave up and went back to bog std HP wired keyboard.

Apart from that, that's one hell of a system! And I love the tidy up job at the back of your desk :D
