I picked up a x850 256MB for 300 Euro from ebay over here in europe they usually go for around 380 euro new so do some currency conversions (US prices are cheaper) . As for cooling I have seen shuttle's barebones (sb95pv2) being sold with the x800 and x850 ATi series. Though as mentioned earlier you got to watch the size of the vid card. Also I would be worried bout overheating as (usually) Intel and ATi do run hotter than AMD and NVidia.

Tell me how you get on cause I got a SD31P arriving soon and am getting a wee bit worried reading this thread

Well i take back all that ive said on the small PCs. Ive been doing some searching myself now for a lil toaster and the Hornets are quite nice. They pack some serious power them things! Also i dont think heat is a problem anymore cause the Shuttles are using dual core cpus now and they make some serious heat too. They are now being loaded w/ some decent cooling.

go ahead and build a full scale system... either that or look into a nVidia Geforce 5200 Ultra. Runs cool and has a small fan so it only takes one slott.

not true guys. example #1 www.falcon-nw.com's Fragbox 1&2

DOH!!!!

Proof is in the pudding...

 

[PP Mguire]

hahah also the Hornets man, and also Shuttle them selves are making power boxes as well. And who in their right mind would buy a 5200ultra instead of a 6800GT or in that case who would buy one in the first place"!!!??
