Spec me a Shuttle

Del Lardo · 04-02-2008, 12:16

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!!

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).

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

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.
