SETI QUESTION: Anyone using the Shuttle XPC SB61G2?

[IsOs]

One of my co-worker is complaing that the dual XP rig housed in an Antec SX1035B case under her desk is too big. She wanted more leg room. Unfortunately, there's no other place to put this particular machine. There are 2 more machines on the side of the desk. (Fax server & File Server).

I'm thinking of getting her this particular model to replace the dual XP 1700+. I see good reviews and some posting of favarable results in using it as office computer. However, I haven't seen one being used while crunching SETI in HyperThreading mode. So if anyone here is using it, please post your experiences with this model.

Thanks.

Umm.. color me ignorant.. but I thought Hyper-Threading was a P4 thing from Intel..?

Yes I'm trying to replace the dual XP with a Pentium 4c 2.4GHz

Okay.. I see.. the Shuttle model is a P4... somehow I just kept missing that..

That's the effect of too much vitamins and minerals!

well, not exactly what you're looking for but i'm running an SN41G2 and it rocks. Temps aren't that big an issue, so much so that under full load mine hovers around 43 with the fans on 100%. Build quality is excellent, and mine hasn't crashed once since i stopped turning fans off One small complaint, there are clips in the chassis to hold / route the IDE cables. Be carefull with those as one of them rubbed off the plastic from the ribbon cable and gave me weird drive issues which took a while to diagnose
