I built a box using Shuttle's SN45G - the original power supply failed after a couple weeks & Shuttle took a while to ship a new one.
Neat box, but a little too crowded for my man hands. I like the Monarch Hornet's ( http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code= M&Category_Code=Hornet ) form factor and the review it got in Maximum PC. I also like the concept of the MSI Mega 651 - here's a review.

When the fan runs high though, it'll easily compare to the louder fans at it's highest speeds, but you've got to be in a hot room, or running pretty hard for that. -- Scott Paul Robertson http://students.cs.byu.edu/~spr/ GnuPG FingerPrint: 09ab 64b5 edc0 903e 93ce edb9 3bcc f8fb dc5d 7601 ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
