Hey guys, I've got a decent offer from a friend to buy a Shuttlebox off him, but I don't have any experience with them as a product or brand and I'm a little wary of what he is claiming its capable of (not that I don't trust him, I just think he may not be as knowledgeable about the topic as he thinks).
The barebones model is a SP45H7, and he is claiming he can put a quad core 2.83-3.00GHz processor, 8GB RAM, and a high end graphics card into this thing with just the stock power and cooling that comes with it.
Here is a link to the barebones model on the website http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/SP45H7.html
Does anyone have an experience with these things? From my limited knowledge, it seems like the power and cooling that comes with that wouldn't be nearly enough for what he is suggesting. I'm also skeptical about the size of it, I'm not sure theres going to be room for a powerful graphics card, DVD/Blu-Ray, HDD, etc (though the HDD and optical drives could be external I guess).
General opinions on the brand itself and the products they sell are also welcome.
