Shuttle

Anyone used them recently for a decent gaming rig?

Are they worth it? Can they give enough power without costing $600 for a frigging case/mb/ps?


Sorry for the dumb-arse question, but I really do not feel like searching through the forums (I did a google and the latest one that popped up from here was 2007... )




Second stupid question. Avira seems to be blocked from updating and Trends Houscall can't seem to load. I know it is probably a virus. Any reasonable solution you can think of besides shoving my still spinning hard drives up a random orifice?

Combofix?
Rootkitrevealer?
Hijack This?
A sturdy Fire Axe?

TIA.

Gaming, shuttle?

Get a case like mine. If you don't give yourself a back injury picking it up then it ain't a computer

Hmm, I will weigh my machine and report back tomorrow, we shall see who's is the heaviest.

i accept your challenge

22kg's pike.

What you got.

I had something similar. The steel Antec server case (the one with the lockable plastic front door). The thing was solid steel and pobably a good 25 pounds empty.

I went from that to Lian Li, and I have two cases with that now, although my latest one is better ventilated, I have to remove the side panel when I run it because of memory overheating (after I added an extra 2G...).

I don't think it is because of the overclocking (2.4->2.7 E6600, memory 4-4-4-12 I believe, and timing going 1-to-1 to get, I think, a 600 MHz memory speed...)

But anyway. The cases are nice, but they are huge for a small desktop space (baby took over the "office" ). I have one shuttle case for the multimedia machine hooked up to the entertainment center and it looked pretty sweet, but all the other cases I looked at were either way too expensive to consider (over $600 for case/PS and board??) or I just did not know if they could support a decent PCI-e card in there on both heat AND power....

Ah well. You guys can get back to whose weighs more now...

Thanks.

#2 looks nicer, a little less like you are deliberately going small.

I will have to keep it in mind. Now I am just poking around. My machine is in its 3rd year now and I am not jumping around looking for a replacement yet (the tech curve seems to have flattened a bit) it is still temptingto look (especially when your L4D stutters on highest detail... )

Your puny computer is no match for mine, moohahah.

Why don't I take those bricks to your face, you goddam hippie.

Spoken from the heart.

Pike read:

He just didn't want to confuse you.

You dying horribly would be pretty damned comforting.

Since when did Ninjahedge have computer posting rights in here?

*beats NH to near-death using said IBM Selectric* [/bored]

Nah, I was honestly looking for tchie advice since I was bored.


Always looking for new stuff to build even when I can't.

Damn that is a heavy comp.

Oh well, exit2dos wins this one, but can it play crysis!!!

It's a Q6600 @ 3.2 with an 8800GT, so I guess it could - believe it or not, I don't own Crysis. My FPS skills are about as productive as Wingy's money tree.

Seeing as the pedantry standards are dropping of late...

Not since you returned.

Or in your case, retards.

/me applauds wingie at excellent slam on an anticipated, but not overstated, setup.

I was sincerely saddened to hear of the passing of "grasshopper"... but of course... he is now the Master ... as things go full circle...

What if there are fundamentally only two things in the universe, one that is changeless and the other that changes constantly and that what you are is the one that is changeless...unless you beleive you are the other...

i was using the term beleif here in the most common way that people use it to describe the way they act and the choices they make which are generally all based on a beleif (which may be true or false, or valid or not). In essence when people say: "i belive this or that" they are just describing how reality is for them.

I would add that some people beleive they are not so seperate from the universe around them and that what they beleive does in fact affect the universe.
