Buying A Shuttle

[^Stalker^]

Well i'm planning on getting a shuttle for christmas!
And I have a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ processor spare, so I was wondering what shuttle and peices to get. I only want to download using this shuttle and burn to DVD disks. So it will need a 4x DVD burner.
I don't care about graphics or sound. I just want something that will download, extract and burn.
So if anyone could build me a shuttle especially for this job I would be grateful.
Here are some things I would like it to have:

512mb RAM
40GIG Hard Drive
On-Board Graphics and sound or whatever

It has to be as cheap as possible. Less than £250 would be great, the moniter, mouse and keyboard are needed also. Thanks for your time.

If you need anymore information on what I need or whatever just reply what you need and i'll tell you. This is for the UK also.

I'd be careful on that stuff, not good, something like Crucial would do.
Can't really do much better, i'd just advise against that stuff

I need a flatscreen moniter, and about 512mb ram yeah. Aslong as it's quite fast I don't mind, aslong as it can downlod and burn like I said.

Try keep it below £300 please



I'm going to be looking at how to link the two moniters so I would only need my current mouse and keyboard, I press a button it switches to the shuttle, I press it again it switches to the pc and so on.

Shuttle, Gubbins and TFT for £300........... doubt it.

Personally I'd go for either the SN41G2 or a SK43G or maybe even a SN45G with a GF4 MX card which can be bought for pennys.

Get some decent RAM.... Unbranded generic crap is known to have problems in Shuttles..... It possibly wont work! So get some value branded stuff. Geil or Crucial.

If ya making a download machine... ya will need more than 40GB. And with the price of hard drives you might as well go for something like a 120GB........ Theres not much price difference between the sizes these days........

Whats different between the SN41G2 and the SN45G v2 ?

Whats different between the SN41G2 and the SN45G v2 ?

SN41G2 has onboard gfx

[^Stalker^]

I just want the cheapest but quite fast one.

[Apex]

SN41G2 has onboard gfx

That it ?

Would you say 130 for a 2nd hand (3 months old, 2 weeks use) 45g is a good deal ?

[menthel]

Not when you can get a new one for about £140. Does it have to be shuttle? If not for the base unit you could get Biostar Ideq 200v for about £100 on aria.

[Apex]

even if it's a v2 sn45g ?

[Stoo]

The V2 only has the silent x power supply added..

[Apex]

so what would you say would be a good price ?

[menthel]

£115-120 at most if v2

[Apex]

K i'll see what the guy says
