And 1 gig ddr 3500. Forgot to add that 😀 its corsair xms
 
Well aside from all the heat problems you'd have getting all that into such a small box, and the fact you will have no ability to get additional pci cards in the future, the 200 Watt Power supply will not handle the 9800 and the processor. Also I'm not sure if shuttle uses a standard power supply in those machines, if they do you can just buy a new power supply, but you should wait for someone with one of those boxes to answer that question.
 
im doubting a 200W PSU will prevent the P4, the 9800 PRO and the 1200JB from blowing up

consider a more moderate video card
 
they come like that form my knowledge. Ive seen them oced to 3.4 also so Heat I guess isnt as bad as some might think. I know the ps is rock solid. Obviously id also like ot hear from some other people. Am i missing any cables or fans or anything liek that?

Its the only springdale mobo offered in an XPC.

I built one of these with the same xpc, 2.4c p4 and a radeon 9600 (non pro). Also had 80gb hdd in it. Works like a charm.

Since you've built one of these before could you tell us if the power supply in them can be replaced with a better one easily. Mainly is it the same form factor as your usual power supplies.
 
Aces. Its not the same and I dont see bigger ones. The biggest one I saw for it was for the gamecube and it was 220
 
If they don't offer larger power supplys for this I'd suggest not getting the shuttle and getting a full size case and at least a 400 watt power supply from a good brand, as well as either the asus or abit motherboards that support the P4 800Mhz FSB. Doing this will probably come out to about the same price, but will also allow you to add a tv tuner and other pci cards later.
