How much stuff can I put in a shuttle sn25p?

[stalinfrag]

I was thinking... amd x2 4400, 2 GB corsair XMS DDR400, 2x74 GB raptors in raid 0, 1 200 gb storage drive, plextor dvd drive, nvidia 7800gtx and maybe an extra case fan here or there. Will this little machine run stable with all these components? If so would it run stable if I oc'ed the fsb to like a small amount say 220 mhz to run at 2.42 ghz? What do you all think ? Is this do-able? I am doubtful because it is only a 350 watt psu, but i would like some input from anyone with knowledge about this. It doesn't say on the shuttle site but you can configure one with 3 harddrive and even an x850 which consumes more power than the 7800 gtx. Let me know , Thanks.

you need to do some modding to the plastic fan shroud if you're going to use the gtx, it hits. Also there are some issues with HDDs running REALLY hot depending on where you put them, there are a couple of interesting mods going on at the Sudhian forums where people are trying to find solutions to that. but other than those two things, it should be stable. you could try asking at Sudhian as well.

Raptors in RAID 0 is totally overkill, you won't notice the difference and it's a waste of money and decrease reliability. You are increasing your heat and power consumption and can cause system instability bigtime. I've heard many people run 1xraptor, 1xstorage, 7800gtx, X2, 2gb, etc on the sn25 without issue, though.

That OC should be stable. I don't think you have your numbers right for the 4400's clockspeed, though.

RAID 0 relatively useless unless you need a high STR.

Hey thanks for the replies. I guess i will go with the single raptor.

would have been a shame to have all that hardware and only less than 150gb of storage
