Going Shuttle a Good Idea?

[steveox]

Currently I have an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe with a P4 3.2 Prescott, and I'm thinking of ditching that for a Shuttle w/ AMD A64 3200+ . I am on the go a decent amount and always in tight fitting places (dorm rooms / bed rooms) so I think it would be a good idea. Can anyone recommend a good shuttle? Or does anyone recommend against it? Hopefully I'll be able to sell my CPU/MB/HSF for around $375 and that's what I'll have to spend on this.

if you can wait a little bit, the SN25P should be out pretty soon

I just bought a biostar ideq 210p and slapped a 3000+ and a 6800 in there with 1 gb of 3200 memory and it is flying. I really was impressed with how easy it was to install everything and how it worked on the first boot

I know that biostar is coming out with a 939 board soon but I like my 754 just fine.

I also like the glowing led on the front. It kind of reminds me of a heart beat so now I call my computer Hal lol.

Im a new owner of a Shuttle SK83G. I absolutely LOVE the way it looks, how small it is, and how fast it runs (a64 2ghz newcastle). Trust me, once you go with an xpc, you wont go back.

Shuttles are great, they're just as fast as a full sized desktop PC. They're also much much smaller, without being too small (you can still use cheap and fast 3.5" HD and 5.25" optical drives, as well as a normal AGP and PCI cards).
