Possible to run 6800 Ultra on Shuttle SN95G5?

[Pete the Painter]

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a Shuttle SN95G5. I've heard that its only possible to fit a GT in the case. From what I see thats correct-->http://img.hexus.net/v2/sff/shuttle/...veroff_big.jpg
I'm well up on case modding and spraying (It's part of my job ), but was wondering if the system/PSU will be up to it with a 6800 Ultra in it?
My spec would be possibly:-
Winchester 3500
1 gig Corsair XMS
Pioneer 109
Gainward 6800 Ultra
Seagate 200 gig Sata
Hauppauge PVR500.

Any ideas welcome.

Thanks

if you mod your case then it should be ok
but to save you the hassle get a gt and oc it to ultra

Problem is I've already got the Ultra

According to a top bod at Shuttle, the SN95 is capable of supporting an FX-53 and a 6800Ultra/800XT PE quite happily.

Therefore, it follows that if you can find an Ultra that will fit in a single slot (or you're gonna cut holes in the shell) that you shouldn't have any probs running this system.

ps: I have an SN95 with a GT running at 400/1100.....and I never have any probs at all with power.

I'll second Jinx. I have a 6800 GT oc and power is not an issue. Period.

Thanks for the input.
I've got the shuttle now and I'm gonna be starting the project soon. Will keep you updated.

Hi,
Please let me know how it turns out. I would like to eventually put a x850 xt pe in mine, or a r520 when it is released. I want to know it the power supply will handle the drain. And any heat issues. Let us know of your trials and tribulations. I want to find the best pci-E card for my system. I also have the othe rpci slot filled with the soundblaster, so I wonder if any nvidea cards will even fit.

I'd suggest you get yourself a spare case to mod. That way if you have to RMA the machine, you can swap back in the good case and there'll be no questions.

Yeah,
thought it'd be best to butcher a spare case
I've got a pretty cool idea...well looks good in my head

Will upoad some pics during/finished.
