Hi guys,

I'm taking on a project at home that involves a reconfiguration of the office. Here is the plan:

Wife
- The 8800GT will leave my PC and will become my wife's main GPU.
- Wife needs a new PC, but we want a small (micro) form factor.
- Need recommendation for Micro-PC that will house an 8800GT.
- Need KVM switch for her to switch between Mac and PC. Must support 1680x1050, USB, and DVI.

Me
- New VC to replace 8800GT.

I'm on a really tight budget, so I was thinking an 4850 perhaps? They're coming in at $130 right?

How does this look:
KVM: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCa...cess?Product_Id=375076
VC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814102770
Mini-PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16856101075



Thanks in advanced!

Thanks for the tip. I paged through some of the reviews and it doesnt look too hot. I found this one instead and it looks good ableit a bit mor expensive. I just want it to work. The specs say it supports 1600x1200, but we're running 1680x1050. Someone in the comments mentioned that it runs that resolution just fine.

Anyone know of a mini-PC (like the Shuttles) that can house a PCI-E 8800GT?
