Shuttle Case & ATI X1300 or X1600 - Heat & Power??

[chooky78]

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to add an ATI Graphics Card to my second system (2.4GHz P4, 1Gb RAM, 250W PSU, Shuttle SB61G2v4 Case, AGP Slot), and am wondering if anyone has any experience with these cards in the Shuttle SB61G2v4 case (or similar Shuttle case)?

Ideally I'd like to have the video card with passive cooling, but am unsure what sort of temperatures the Shuttle case airflow could deal with... I might get the X1300 (not playing any of the latest games on this system) justto make sure the card doesn't fry my computer...

If anyone has used an ATI X1300 or X1600 (with passive or active cooling) in a shuttle case, could they let me know of their experiences with heat, power requirements, etc?

Thanks!!

Mark

ma, ur not gonna get much help. Shuttles are a whole diff type of PC,


heat wont be an issue i think, and that 250w PSU should hold fine.
