Sudhian have just posted their article showning what happens if you mix a Prescott with a shuttle small form factor PC....makes for very interesing reading....

I really wanna try one of these hooked up to a PC power and cooling PSU. That should fix most of the power problems people are having and allow for really good overclocks. (Maybe I'll do those mods toms hardware did to the mobo to let it supply more power)

Too bad I dont have money.
