erm nice, but whatta u using the shuttle for? i always tend to think shuttles are MCE machines...and if thats what your using it for you wont need the 7800...

if im wrong then it looks like a decent system.

Nope, the Venice or San Diego is better. The Clawhammer is the old core. Get Venice or SD if you can.

No idea - that's a lot of GPU to fit into a shuttle. I'm not a real fan of shuttle's (or any of those lunch-box-shaped :twisted: cases), so I don't know currently, but earlier shuttles had issues with heat when a top-end card (the 6800U if my memory hasn't failed me - rare, but sometimes it works...) was installed... Hopefully this is a newer one and it's cooler.

It's supposed to run a bit cooler, but I'm looking for something that I can run in my office most of the time and then carry to the living room for games since I have a projector there. Also I'm hoping it'll be small enough to be used as a carry on for when I deploy to the sand box. Looking at the dimensions it looks possible. Like you guys mentioned, heat is a concern of mine but they say it should work. One dude said he's running a XFX 7800GT in his and works fine. I'm hoping the Evga will fit and fun just as well for me.
