Budget shuttle

    I am interested in maybe doing a little cheap shuttle build (is cheap even possible?), 500 euros, for light gaming general use

    Are they loud noisy little things? Could I squeeze a 4670 and an AMD quad chip inside one?

    Any good sites for shuttles?

    Only one I can think of is the XPC SA76G2 and its pretty expensive, probably €300+ in the US. Over here... there's a bit of a mark-up:

    Most non-Shuttle shuttles are about three times the size. Although they're heaps better and cheaper :P

    It would be a bit of an oven with gear like that in it

    *Thinks about the i7 Shuttles and whistles away to himself quietly*

    HWVS mostly have various LGA775 Shuttles, only a couple of AM2 models which I've dubbed Old and Older for obvious reasons :D Only the €235 one could even hope to have a BIOS update for AM3 chips and seeing as its an old nVidia chipset in there I'd doubt it :o
