Whats your favourite SFF PC?

[Lead_Head]

I just built a IDEQ 200n and really like it (so quiet)
This is my first SFF machine so I can't compare it with another.
I did have a heck of a time deciding which one to get.

I loved the FICs Ice-Cube Design but it is a Intel only option.
The Shuttle SN41G2 was my choice for a while then I flip flopped
to the AOpen EZ18 with it's hidden drives and slick finish.

Then I found the IDEQ and chose it for it's Raid Serial-ATA and AMD support.
I'm glad thats all over with. lol

I've also had one of those (ta David ), they are very sweet.... Well worth it!

SB51g i think it was... It was my first shuttle and by far my fastest

P4 3.06, 1gb corsair i think it was, cdrw and 200gb hdd. Radeon 9700 Pro to top it all of.

I loved it

On my third now. Dont think id be without one now.

Shuttle SN45G, simply because I have one. It is also my first SFF PC.

My first and only shuttle is my fave - SB51G

In fact I liked it so much I bought another one and use it as my web/file/mp3 server running 24/7! Both of them run 3.06Ghz HT P4s and they are nice and fast and quiet!

In fact between them they pump out an average of 22-25 Seti WUs a day, which isn't bad for 2 PCs

SB61G2R — Features, performance, price and looks. This was the limited edition XPC that Shuttle got spot on

SN41G2
I say this because these are the only models I have had experience with
I still think they have the most style about them

You know you want it http://www.hoojum.com/html/product_cubitp4.htm lol

Hmmm that Cubit box looks to me like the way the future of SFF will be going. Smooth lines, mostly silvers and chromes and minimalistic on the drives

Still think the looks of the Shuttles at the moment are sexeh

Don't have an SFF PC, but if I had to choose one, it would be the AOpen EY65

[drp]

Hmmm that looks rather tasty. Has lots of modding potential, especially with the smooth front panel for an LCD?

Not sure about the front panel prtruding from the top of the case o0

The AOpen SSF range is nice, but im not too keen on the cooling option having to use the side ventlation... looks the bomb though.

[drp]

Hmmm, didn't notice that cooling method I could see that being modded into a small window and the cooling shifted to the rear of the chassis if possible?

[pickers]

Although it doesn't have a great deal of processing power, just on looks and sheer cool factor the new Hoojum Nanode has got to win:-

Oh yeah for sure. Its not going to perform as well as the XPC'x but it does look pretty cool

[conan]

Have a SN41G2 and a Chyang Fun Mini ITX box at the moment. Both great for what they do, the shuttle for gaming and the CF for a HTPC. Just about to change another ATX for a SN45G, got the SFF bug now

First Shuttle I built was a SK41G - then many SN41G2v1/v2 models. I owned several of these, modding the DVDRW bay to be stealthed. For sheer good looks, I loved the SN41G2. I've now sold that on, and I kinda miss it. I now have two Aopen units, an EX18 and a EY65:





The EX18 is good for gaming, as it has better ventilation for a graphics card. The EY65 was an impulse buy, when scan.co.uk had it for £86 one day. Had a nightmare getting it running, as it doesn't work with the latest Celeron D CPUs. Ended upgrading to a 2.8GHz Northwood. Now I'm seriously considering putting a blue/white LCD into the floppy bay area, as it is gagging for a mod...
