oh really? Didn't know that. Potentially that could spoil my plans.

Guys, Anyone know of any 2.1 speakers that will take a digital optical in? Or maybe a small in-line dac so I can use analog speakers? I need some 2.1 speakers for my TV, don't want to use the analog port as it's on the side of the TV, and I don't want to have to have a separate amp to...

Well the decision on the CPU is now made as I've just picked up a free E2140 from work.

hmmm, I'm wondering whether AMD will be an option, I'm struggling to find a motherboard to fit my needs, I need 3x PCI minimum (4 would be nice).

Yeah it will be mainly a file server and pdc running linux, mythtv will be running so it will be recording and encoding tv shows, but it doesn't have to encode them quickly so having a super fast super hot cpu is not necessary. That AMD looks good, dual core 64bit, and if it's only around 45w...

I definitely might have to invest in a newer CPU then. Anyone have any thoughts on how AMD's compare with the Intel's these days?

Good suggestion that I hadn't thought of. Especially as my PC is a P182! I shall have to turn off all the other devices in my study and see how quiet it is! Sythe fans eh? Not heard of them before, thanks

I might do that, I only thought of the Pentium D as I have a couple of em lying around. Hadn't realised they run hot, definitely not what I need!

Blackhawk47: thanks for the tip, that's a nice looking case. I'm intrigued by the upside down motherboard mounting.

2x 160 in RAID 0 for the system, then 4x 500Gb in RAID 5 for storage (so less than 1.5Tb in total). Movies, music, backups.

Guys, I need some help. Due to a need to re-arrange I have to build a new PC to be my home server. The 'server' will sit in the corner of my dining room under a table so there is a need to it to be a quiet as possible (the sound of a 747 in the corner does not make for a pleasant dining...

Wasn't the quickest process but I managed to return the shuttle to ****** for a full refund. I went with a full sized system in the end

I have to call them to RMA mine, so I might do exactly that. Thanks,

I was concerned that might be the case, I notice a few posts on other sites where people have had to reset the cmos on nearly every boot. I've had SFF machines before but this is my first shuttle ... not a good start. So you replaced yours and the second one is ok? I want to have a SFF...

Hi, I've just bought a new system that I'm having issues with, and before I return the SP35P2 I want to make sure the right part is at fault. When the issues started the system would turn on but not boot (blank screen), taking out one of the RAM sticks helped so I assumed at first that it...

well I don't need the additional software to begin with, as long as I can get hardware feeds that's good for me.

Thanks Buff! I searched on abit's site for guru and the compatible shown for the guru panel obviously hasn't been updated. Search results only gave me the panel, two clocks and a few graphics cards.

sweet, that sounds like exactly what I need. I'll go look it up now. update Hmm, certainly good as I can use the uGuru motherboards with my current hardware just what I need right now; I can't seem to see any of the newer motherboards with it though.

Can anyone recommend a motherboard manufacturer that makes boards with the ability to hook up external readers for the sensors (fan, heat, etc)? I know I could probably do this via USB, but that would be only once software is loaded, I'm looking for a way to read these sensors on an external...

I decided to bite the bullet and just plug a connector to it after chopping of one of the cables, worked fine. Ordered a new PSU and the newer PSU's from shuttle have all for cables on all molexes anyway. All that worry for nothing. doh.
