I'm looking for a decent mid-range mini shuttle system. I'd prefer Athlon, but it doesn't have to be if intel works better for the same price. I do want decent graphics capability. (Recommendations on which graphics card works best with a shuttle system?) ATi Radeon (which one?) NVidia Fx (which one?) or go with the built-in graphics? I'd really prefer at least 128 megs of graphics memory so I can play Doom III when it comes out.
I've been browsing a few sites online but most of them do not allow you to customize which graphics card and I am worried I'll pick one that won't phyically fit inside the case.
And mini is the small one right? I am referring to the small boxes not regular towers.
Here are some things I am looking for, if this helps narrow down the critera:
nForce 2 chipset. (I've heard they are more stable)
On board LAN (but an extra slot for a LAN card, in case I blow the on-board port).
I won?t be overclocking so features related to overclocking are not that important to me.
Sound either on board or a decent card that fits inside the smaller case (will a turtle beach fit?)
1 GB memory (probably 2-512 MB sticks) doesn't have to be the fastest memory (middle of the road is fine). My current desktop system uses non-ecc pc2700 so compatibility would be nice.
Any suggestions welcome.
Cheers.
