Got my SN95G5

[Craig]

Well today a nicely packaged SN95G5 turned up on my doortsep, thanks Scan Along with a Shuttle carrying bag and 2GB of Crucial Value memory.

After my ordeal with my SN45G a year or so ago I never thought I would go back to a SFF PC! First impressions... well its bloody good looking and it surprisingly runs coolish 50-55deg HDD and 55-60cpu

Are there any things I should know about Shuttles.. like if I leave it on 24/7 I will come home to a burned hole in my desk and a pile of moulten plastic? Or should I just treat it like any other PC? Just being a little bit careful after my SN45G ordeal

Regards,

Craig

mine is running 24/7 folding with a slight overclock too so i wouldnt worry what cpu do you have in it ? looks a tad on the warm side mind you your paste will need a few days to set in I suppose

Inside I have...

Athlon 64 3500+
2x 1GB Corsair Value
WD Raptor 74GB
WD Caviar SE 160GB
NEC Dual Layer DVD Writer
SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS

One of my HDD's just shot up to 60degrees in Hmonitor - It is back down to 54degrees now, is this something to worry about?

CPU is still sitting at 55 degrees

EDIT: Also - My mum INSISTS that the heating should be on 24/7, even I am sweating. I have turned off my radiator for today to see if that makes any difference. Any more feedback is welcome

I left my sn95g5 on for weeks on end so you should be fine
