anyone use barebone system?

Like the Shuttle barebone?

How is it? Is it worth the price?

Care to elaborate what kinda reponse your looking for?

I got a Shuttle SV25, had a lot of issues with it but mainly b/c I'm anal and want a silent PC. I mean it is sure cramped in there.

For me I'm quite happy with it now, that I've modified it and everything. As for the price I'm happy b/c I got it refurb from newegg for $130.

I am just trying to look for a cheap computer. You mentioned it's noisy?

Also can you put two HD in there? AGP?

As far as a cheap computer, I think you could do better elsewhere. Of course if you can snag a refurb it might be worthwhile.

I'm running it with 2x hard drives (both 5400rpm btw), but I had to forgo the floppy to do that (who needs a floppy?)

The SV25 dosen't have the AGP, but some of the Shuttle boxes do.

It's just noisey in my opinion, I am very anal about noise and none of my PCs exceeds 30dba.
