Can someone do me a shuttle price up?

[Jimmy Little]

hi chaps the time has come to build my GF a shuttle, she has her heart set on one... she wants a good system... but has no need for a good graphics card..

shuttle
cpu
hard drive (ide)
ram
cd/rw

i think thats all i need, so i guess i would get a shuttle with onbaord grahpics?

can someone price me up an AMD one and a P4 system... i don't really know which model or where the best place to order this lot from?

I've built oodles of shuttles and its best to go down the AMD route as its cheaper .

I highly recommend the SN41G2 its got great onboard gfx which is suitable some gaming.

I tend to use variations on the following spec for basic machines as it covers all the bases:

Shuttle SN41G2
AMD XP-2200+ CPU
80 gig maxtor hdd
DVD/CDRW combo drive (There is one with silver beige and black facias)
DDR/400-MEMORY 512MB PC3200

This all comes to £ 330ish from http://commerce.uk.sage.com/gemma/

They are usual one of the cheapest for shuttle barebones

That is definately a winning combination.

I hear www.myshuttle.co.uk has some sweet deals on Shuttles

Barton XP 2500 Mobile....

I perosnaly LOVE my Soltek Qbic ...would advise that she can do her makeup in the mirrored front too

what the diff between a normal one and a mobile one? (sorry i know nout)!!

[Zak33]

well originally the XP2500's were unlocked ....so you could overclock them.

Then AMD changed it

I know..I got one

Then some clever sod dioscovered the Mobile ones were made unlocked
