Upgrade for my self and wife
Ok so i have been debating an upgrade for 2 months for my wifes 478 socket 2.4a p4. She has an x800 pro and ddr333 ram. I want to upgrade non of those but get agp 8x as she has 4 x now.
What do you guys think of this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856101467 Looks like it has all i need for her for a decent price... my only worry is cooling with the x800 pro. ----------------------------------------------------------- Second system.. Mine in the sig below. I am now considering going SFF also as i am SICK of the HUGE 5 fan noise box i got now. 775 socket p4... any suggestion or is this shuttle about the best buy? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856101463

that one is very well cooled, costs a bit less then what you are lookign at for your wife's rig. has one fo the nicest coolign system's I've seen in a while. It's what i built my mother, who has a very similiar rig, minus the video card(she uses onboard): 2.4C P4 and 2x 512 DDR400....and best of all..it's freaking silent |

The only thing about the asus .. though i LOVE asus.. is wondering if the x800 will fit and cooling be good enough for it? The reason i ask is one of the reviews on the shuttle said he got his to fit easy.
Is the asus big? lol the pictures make it look 2 x the size of the shuttle?

Just bought the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16856101467 Shuttle
and setup for my wife last night. I have to say i give them 5 stars on that manuel for install and quality on the case. THis is probably one of the better systems i have had yet to work with. Can't wait for my upgrade once our house sells Will post picks tomarrow if i can get the system away from my wife! She loves how quiet the thing is even with a x800 pro running WoW
