Hello everyone, I had a question regarding an upcoming computer I am planning on building.
I am planning on ordering my parts soon, and I have chosen the SN26P as the barebone. This is technically the second PC I'm going to build, as I helped build a friend's PC (who was also using the SN26P) last December.
Here are the specs of my new computer:
Shuttle SN26P Barebone
AMD Athlon X2 4400+
eVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MB PCI Express x16 Graphics Card (not planning on doing SLI)
Corsair XMS 1GB RAM
LITE-ON 16X DVD±R DVD Burner
120GB Hard Drive
I have a pretty good idea of how everything works, but I am concerned that the computer may get too hot. I have talked with some of my friends who know as much as I do, if not more, and they say chances are the PC will not overheat. I went and looked today at a possible fan that connects to a PCI slot, which I might pick up after building the computer sometime next week.
I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post it in, but I was just hoping I could get someone's opinion on whether or not any cooling is needed. I know there are a lot of people who like to go SLI with these small cases, which is something I currently am not interested in doing (nor do I think I will ever be). I am going to college in about two months and needed something to take, and I wanted a system that was somewhat for gaming, but to where it was affordable.
Thanks to anyone in advance who can help.
