Newbie wants shuttle that fits a barton 2500+ and an AGP 6800GT (dual slot cooling!)

thanks guys... really needed the confidence boost with my AXP. Was running HL2 flawlessly too at maxed out quality wif 4xAA on 1280x1024. But the CPU is getting a little old even at OC 3200+... been thru heartache (dissapointing 5600 Ultra) and happy times (6800GT) with my 2500+ barton. Will change to a 939 in a couple of months... Will still keep this rig wif an older 9800XT.

Allen.. Will not try case mods. If I can't get this rig into an SFF, will probably decorate it wif a bunch of fans and a windowed side wif neons just to make myself feel better. ehehhee... long live A-XP!! (a legacy long remembered)

all im basically saying is that if he is spending further money (ha about more money than braincells as he is spending more money...so he could buy a sli board and have braincells...) he might aswell flog the AGP and buy a PCI-E as when it comes to upgrade he will buy yet another A64 board... that way he wont have to buy a second mobo when upgrading in the further...

A little bit off-topic but you carrying an ATX case back and from Malaysia every christmas ??

yea... Cudn't bear using my brother's 2.4Ghz P4 that crashes almost everytime I used it. My system fits pretty well into my luggage but I was thinking of bringing my xbox back this time around... so was looking for something smaller to fit my system. I had a look around Sheffield yesterday and found a pretty nifty mini ATX by ASUS. Its actually the exact size of my mobo's form factor... stuffed the PSU next to mobo instead of above it. Cost a little above £40, might just be worried about ventilation in those casings....
