Hi guys, just looking for a bit of advice really.
I'm looking at replacing my current pc with a much more compact, carryable and more powerful rig. I've been looking at a Core 2 Duo E6600, 2GB of DDR2 ram and transplanting my 7800GT, DVD drive and other stuff, probably not going to overclock it as i've never had the urge to overclock my current rig. The primary uses will be Photoshop (manipulating 5D RAW files), gaming BF2 + 2142 and the like, playing media, plus the usual IM, web surfing etc.
Now to the question, what barebones shuttle would be best? i'm looking at the SD37P2 and SD32G5.
What would be the benefits of choosing either?
Will the 250W psu on the 32 be enough for 2 HDDs and an upgrade to the gfx at a later date?
the different chipsets, will it make much of a difference either way?
what ram would you go for ~£160?
i've not kept abreast of things since i built my last pc so not really sure what the deal is with Shuttle or the newer intel stuff and i need some pointers
