Shuttle XPC SN45G a few ?'s

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.shuttle (More info?)

new to shuttles so have a few questions

I am looking to build a relatively quiet yet performance PC

i have been looking at

Shuttle XPC SN45G on ebuyer (link below)

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=52947

now i have read that page and read a couple of the reviews, seen close up
pictures on other wbesites and just love the look of the case!

anyhow my few question are about the BIOS on the board in the system and the
Power supply, probably in a FAQ somewhere i have been unable to find it
however, also one Q about graphics cards

I plan on using a Athlon XP-M 2600+ in the system and am wondering, do the
BIOS allow me to change the CPU FSB settings and the multiplier, also do
they allow me to change the CPU vcore

the reason being for me wishing to know this is for overclocking, also if
the CPU fan is a bit loud i might want to underclock the processor so i can
tune down the CPU fan.

Also what rating is the PSU 300w? does it even come with a PSU? it doesn't
say so on the website (ebuyer) if it doesn't, will any mATX PSU do the job?
any reccomendations that have been tried and tested, higher rating the
better (350w if possible)

Lastly has anyone had a top end gfx card (AGP) inside one of these little
machines? at the minute i have a GeForce5200 (not so top end) which I will
most likely be trying to get to 5900XT at least, or maybe even go for a 6800
do they fit?

any help would be much appreciated as would any advice, these are really
nice alternatives to building one from scartch, which i dont think i could
be fussed with.

PS - has anyone ever sprayed the front of a DVD/CD drive or floppy disk
drive?

Doesn't say if it's a V1 or V2 (bit concerned that I'd be getting an old V1)

Can't answer that one as I've never looked into overclocking

250w silent PSU on the SNG45V2 comes as standard 200w on the SNG45V1

no i want to get the white coloued XPC with the glass front, and my drives
are currently silver and want them to match the cool white finish underneath
the glass cover.

just wondered, i have since found white drives though so it shouldn't be a
prob

thanks for the help

There is some thermal paste included in the box but I recommend getting
some Arctic Silver. If your going to put a 3200+ in there make sure
there is good air flow, it might get a bit hot in there.

V3 is SATA and I think a few other minor tweaks the shuttle web site
should have details. Remember you will need a floppy drive to install
the SATA drivers, I say this as I don't have a floppy drive in mine, I
have a card reader and USB pen drive if I need to transfer data.

Yes up to 1.85V in steps then over 1.85V

On the SN45G it is rated at 200W on the SN45GV2 its rated at 250W. As a
250W will run a Geforce 6800 Ultra and XP3200 why do you need more?

You need to watch out for the nVidia ones as some use two slot spaces so
are too wide. Top end Radeons OK though.

Haven't actually done it, but the front of the drives can usually be
easily snapped off for the paintjob. I'd say it's better to not just
point a spraycan at the drive.

On my current machine i don't have any removable media drives at all.
I've got USB and Firewire ports though, so if need be, i can get
something to connect externally. I happened to see one of those
"n-in-one" external media readers with a floppy-drive, cdrom and
cardreaders to connect to USB, and will possibly get one of them one day.
I doubt i'll be able to boot from an USB cd or floppy though. I'm not
sure if the one's available write CDs or DVDs, and i'd prefer not to
have a separate drive just for toasting.

Also, we will build a GNU machine to serve removable media drives,
among other things to the household, and connect to it with SMB.
Ought to be adequate for the casual need of CDs or floppies.
