| Shuttle system components - buying advice Hi, would anyone be prepared to give me (a novice builder!) a little advice ? I'm going to build a Shuttle system, based around the SB75G2, and propose the following components: CPU: P4 2.8Ghz 800FSB Memory: 512Mb DDR RAM (crucial) DVD: Pioneer DVR-A07 Graphics: Connect 3D Radeon 9600XT 128MB DDR AGP HDD: Samsung SpinPoint P80 160GB SATA150 I guess my questions are: Would this is a 'sensible' config for a start ? i.e Am I spending too much on the Shuttle (I believe the SB75G2 is pretty much top of the range) - and not enough on, say, the processor ? Is the graphics card a decent buy ? I have tried to research various cards, but there are so many at such varying prices ! I'm basically after something that will run quietly, as I want to use it in the lounge ajacent to the TV. Will this be quiet, or do I need to change the HDD ? The PC will be used mainly for MP3s, but I would also like it to be capable of running showshifter so I can pause live TV / record programmes / burn DVDs etc Any thoughts, (however honest !) much appreciated ... Thanks. |
