I'm putting together an SFF PC to host some technology demos. It needs to look cool, run lots of small Java programs (all running in OSGi, so only one instance of the JVM is needed), and handle lots (100+) of network connections. No fancy video requirements, mostly 2D with maybe a little 3D (but no games).

Noise isn't much of an issue because the machine will be in a noisy lab. But the PC will be running all the time, so heat could be an issue, especially since we really want an SFF.

Here's my current plan:
Shuttle XPC SN95G5v3 SFF (Athlon 64 Socket 939 Nforce3 mobo, 240W PSU)
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Venice core, Socket 939)
Corsair ValueSelect 2.5CAS 1GB Kit (2x512) DDR400
Asus A9250/TD Radeon 9250 AGP (128MB, 64-bit interface)
Hitachi Deskstar 80GB SATA II HD w/ 8MB buffer
NEC ND-3540A 16X DVD+-RW, Black
Arctic Silver Ceramique

All under $680 w/ free two-day shipping from ZZF.

The lowest-clocked Venice core should be powerful enough and produce little heat (supports CnQ or could be manually undervolted).

Even with the 64-bit memory interface the 9250 should be more than video power for what we need (I was originally going to go with Shuttle's ST20G5 ATI-chipset XPC with integrated graphics, but I've seen a lot of reviews complaining about driver and BIOS problems).

Anyone agree or disagree with these choices?

240 watts is a joke It may or may not handle everything.
In some cases you can find 200 GH HD for only a few dollars more than a 80 GB.
Also, you could try to find a motherboard with integrated video and PCI-E slot.

I posted info for another person here, maybe I should link to that thread.

240 is way more than enough for that system.
