that isn't a shuttle case though, is it?
not a bad price though; not gonna be able to put the fastest processor in there, but certainly good enough for a cheap dvd/divx viewer.

looks somewhat like the shuttle mini but I think it's a knock-off case...
good link on the original shuttle mini here at Tom's

Eh, I decided to buy this, even though I already have a Shuttle SS51g. Thought this might make a decent pvr/mp3 player for my living room. I selected "in store pickup", so it came out to $139.64. I already have extra parts laying around, so hopefully this will be a pretty decent deal. Anyone else have this puppy?
Well, it's not like you need a total monster machine in these things. P3s still come faster than 1 GHz, and that's more than most people need to begin with.
Damn straight. The computer my family's been using the last years has varied from a PIII 500 to a 750 oc'd to 930, and I haven't heard a single complaint from them. The only one complaining is me, because it doesn't crack RC5 blocks fast enough!
Eh, that may not be a Shuttle case, but it looks mighty close to the Shuttle SV25 case (the Shuttle XPC that is based off the FV25). If I had the money or the use for one, I'd buy it.
clock for clock, the P3 blows the P4 out of the water. get a tualatin celeron--best bang for the buck you can get as all P3s over 1 GHz are over $100.
Does anyone know if this computer supports digital sound out? Will it pass and AC3 signal to my reciever? If not its a tough choice between dropping a new sound card or an ALL In Wonder in there.
Oh yea I got a 1.2 ghz Celly and I couldn't be happier, according to sandra benchmarks it is within like 2% of a 1.2ghz Athlon (non-XP). And the heat output is next to nill, I got it running with the stock heatsync with the fan at 7v and my cpu temp is NEVER above 3 to 4 degrees above ambient temp (in Farienheight). Great for a file server/PVR box!
Waste the one PCI slot on a PCI AIW? ew.
If they would only put an AGP slot in these things...
This would still rock for my wife.
FYI I have a Shuttle SV25, this is exactly the same system. I suspect that some Tiwanese manufacter decided to rebadge the thing, power buttom, even the motherboard looks exactly the same.
If I could have gotten one from Canada I'd have been **ALL OVER** this!!
As it is, I found a decent deal on the Shuttle SK41G for about $220 US which uses the Athlon XP and has AGP. I'd have been VERY happy with one of these little boxes though!

I still use a PPro 180 mhz oc'd to 200 mhz on occasion. Of course, it has scsi hdd's, so it's a little faster than usual. You really don't need much for a mp3 player and this should fit the bill nicely. Anyone got any deals on some P3 chips?

I bought one of these earlier this week and yes, it is indeed an sv25. Even has the shuttle manual. Two questions thought, where can I get the modem riser card (there's some sorta connector on the board for one) and how do I secure the pci cards I put in there? there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to screw in the pci card so it doesn't fall out....
That's a Chyang Fun CF-7989-EPM case. I'd say that the barebones is a good buy, since the case itself, without a power supply, costs around $100. There's a review of it at www.mini-itx.com.
This is very similar to the SV25. I got a refurb sv25 from newegg a couple months back for about this same price
so new this would be a good deal for a system for most everything except gaming though. Mine came with the
900 mhz C3 proc runin at 133 fsb--->sloooww as shiite and stutter frames on divx movies even straight off the HD. grabbed a 1.2 cely and all is well, I can even play a little max payne in there on the big screen def nice little box for the price, I use mine to mostly play divx movies streaming from my server thru a gigafast usb 802.11 client on a Netgear MR814 AP----->no dropped frames
