Small Form Factor PC recommendations.

What do you guys recommend? I cannot find many reviews of each barebones choice so I thought I would look for some help.

I am not too worried about super speed. I am looking for something affordable. CPU does not matter too much. Over all price does.....

It will of course be crunching for the team.

I'd look at Shuttle first. They've been doing it for a long time. Watch for specials if price is the most important item.

I've had good luck with these small cases. but you have to watch your hsf height.

if your going for one of the barebones SFF's I'd say go with either shuttle or the biostar, they are likely to be more stable than the other brands.

Thanks for the info. I am looking at the biostars and shuttles. Do you recommend any specifiec models?

if you're looking for a good performing system decent w/onboard graphics, I'd get one with the nforce2 IGP chipset, if the graphics aren't that pressing and you want to save some cash the km400's are decent performers for a bit less money.

I am not too worried about the graphics. I am currently making due with my *original* Radeon 32MB DDR. Heck if it's cheaper I am would be happy to just get a board with AGP and put that car in it until I can justify something better.

This computer completely used for my business. So basically programming, spreadsheets, email and that sort of thing. My current computer is going to be turned into a new file server....
