Just ordered a SB75G2......

[^^Gord^^]

..... to replace my SN41G2. Is there any thing I should know about these? Like what settings not to change? Or any known problems?

Ta!

Hi - I got one a few weeks back and have been very happy with it. No common problems that I'm aware of.
I guess you already know to try and get a V2 one with the silentx 250w PS and Heatsinks on the Mosfets, came out just after I got mine - typical

The only prob I had was no sound initially, caused by the front connector on the mobo coming loose but easily fixed

Swapped the Sunon like everyone does for a Noiseblocker S4 and fitted a CF-631 LCD in the 3.5" bay / put a reflectix front on it and it looks sweet.
Wish I'd gone SFF ages ago

Yeah, They Rock!

Make sure you get a Shuttle black monitor to match

Cheers guys. I didn't know there was two revs of it. I've ordered it from MicroDirect. I'll have to wait and see if it turns out to be a rev2.

Yeah the black models are definately teh sex imo
Couldn't find an AMD version of one though when i was getting mine, gutted!

I did almost get the Athlon 64 shuttle but the entire black look of the SB75G2 and the grilled sides won me over in the end.

I love the look of the Athlon 64 model, with the smooth front panel and Card Reader built in instead of a 3.5" bay, really looks neat

[^^Gord^^]

drp, don't say that!! I have just about convinced myself I had made the right decision.

Just took another look at MD page on this....

and noticed it is on special. That is making me think this may be a rev 1 they are trying to clear stocks on :-/

I hope not, I really wanted the 250w silent x PSU.

*fingers crossed*

[drp]

Yeah thats usually the case im afraid to say mate

Ah yes, you just gave me a reminder that im still to upgrade the standard PSU in this box to the SilentX version

[wol]

Love mine, i really do.

Get yourself a silentx fan to replace the standard 80mm one and speedfan (program) so that you can control the speeds of them in windows.

Thats about all youve got to do

Wol

[drp]

Well im just gonna get the SilentX PSU and then the S3 Noiseblocker fan for a replacement of the standard CPU fan. Have the fan speed set to Auto/Medium and then it'll be fine

You can also get hold of a Zalman Northbridge heatsink to replace the fan. I did that a couple of months ago and had no problems.

I have a Noiseblocker ICE fan, Silent-X PSU, Northbridge heatsink and both hard drives set to the lowest acoustic level and with Speedfan at 5% the system is ridiculously quiet.

Gord Im amazed you never asked my advice

Dude SB75G2 is the best Intel XPC, although you should of waited for the SB75S Here .
