Spec me a Shuttle

[Del Lardo]

Need to build a Shuttle type PC for works demos.

Requirements are:
Powerful processor, definite dual core possible Quad core?
4GB RAM
80GB+ HDD SATA, fast as possible, 10000rpm?
Graphics card not really important.

Budget up to £1500 though obivously cheaper is better and would all need to come from one supplier.


GO!!

[Del Lardo]

No one? :(

Looks like I'll have to get up to date on processors and chipsets

I did have a look but got distracted by shiny things. :/

The question I guess is whether you want to do it now or are able to wait a little for Wolfdale-compatible shuttles (that's the new E8xxx series processors).

[Del Lardo]

What sort of wait would it be? I'll probably need to get the system up and running by mid-March.

[Mark]

Perhaps you won't have to wait at all. These models appear to be compatible with E8xxx series CPUs:

SG31G2、SG33G5、SG33G5 PRO、SG33G5M、SG33G5M DELUXE、SG33G6 DELUXE、SP35P2 PRO、SX38P2 PRO

That's all bar one of the models OcUK sells, and I think all of those should meet your other requirements. I've not really researched shuttles in the past so not sure about other retailers of them.
