Shuttle HELP

[k-]

I plan to get this...
http://global.shuttle.com/Product/Barebone/SB86i.asp
with d930
and BFG7600gt or Asus x800xl

this shuttle has 275 PSU
Do you think I'l be able to run these things w/o problems?
(I MIGHT push ocing a little if its possible.)

Since the SB86i does not include the 930D (or any D) on its support list, it seems the answer is "no."

I would recommend you get this shuttle system with an AM2 socket. . Plus it has a 400W power supply which is even better. I think it's perfect.

Consider some thermal grease for the cpu.

This article says that Arctic Silver 5 will do just fine.

Here's a site where you can buy the thermal grease.
Arctic Silver 5= $3.98

I think it's a perfect system probably just right for your budget. It will last you for years to come because all of the components for Windows Vista ready.

you know busy, if u use newegg u u'lll get cheaper prices.

here is an example

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143061 - only 280 for a BFG one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150144 - $266 for an XFX!!!

Open your eyes penguin the prices are the same, but the 7900gt on zipzoomfly is only $0.46 cheaper. Stop answering every post and get a life, I know what I'm talking about, you don't have to teach me because I know better and more than you. 8)

Oh yeah and if you can't see the 7900gt ko is better than the 7900gt BFG or XFX in terms of performance!

i really appreciate what you have posted.
But this is my side comp and my budget for this one is only going to be like 650ish CANADIAN.

Therefore, I switched some things and now I plan to get...

http://global.shuttle.com/Product/Barebone/ST20G5.asp
A shuttle $310

3000+ $112

x800xl $130

1gb mem $95

$647

I MGIHT upgrade the gfx card to a 7600gt and the cpu to 3500+
but im not sure if the PS in the shuttle can take 'em all.

Whats do you all think??

7900GT super clocked

K I think you should spend the extra $600 and get the system I posted up. It's worth the money and it will keep you satisfied for years to come.
