Athlon XP2500+ mobile processor.
80GB Maxtor 7200 RPM DiamondMax Plus 9
ASUS Geforce TI4200 graphics card
512mb geil pc3200 ram

[ekundo]

yeah, i reckon so, add a cdrw for £40 and your sorted

[mt50]

i've allready got a nec 2500A dvd-rw to go into it. just got to flog my base unit now

Yeah thats a pretty good deal for an SN45, they're worth every penny imo. So stable its not true, i've been running mine at 8/10 days at a time through the hot weather at stock speed and it just keeps going

[menthel]

Sounds good to me. The 2500m should overclock well. You should also get 2x memory to run in dual channel mode. Just don't adjust the memory volts in bios!

[mt50]

thanks guys, might be getting it with the ram for £240 now
hope so. i loud are these shuttles?

[megah0]

not too bad as long as a few mods are made

1. get rid of the stock sunon fan
2. get a silentX 250w PSU
3. cut out the rear fan grille

You have made a wise choice, i love my SN45G

[mt50]

how much are those silent psus?
also what did you use to cut out the rear grille?

thanks

[megah0]

The PSU is about £45.
