ok so, ive been ummming and ahhhing alot recently. i need a new rig because the one in my sig is no more as of a long time ago. ill be taking it back to uni with me so first and foremost i wanted something easy to pack and transport. lugging my old one there an back was a chore.

i ummed and ahhhed about an iMac 20inch or some kind of potent 15.4 inch vista laptop, and have decided to wait untill June time to make a choice on those due to Santa Rosa and Mac OS X 10.5 leopard hopefully appearing in that time frame.

in the mean time i got the urge to just check out building another rig. shuttles are small so maybe they'd work as well. so i quickly spec'd one up, the price is about on par with my 2 other choices to its just a question of which. (the shuttle has more CPU power and memory bandwidth for the dough, and considerably more potent graphics)

what do you think of those choices? (dont think i missed anything, cant have an X-Fi as the shuttle only has 2 PCI-E x16 slots, and already own a dell 2005FPW)

I've wanted to try out that keyboard for a while but haven't seen it in stock at any local stoes.

that particular shuttle has a 400w psu in it becuase for some unfathomable reason they decided to support Crossfire. not much cop since you can only use X1900GT's, that thing should have enough juice for the 8800GTs right? GTX is probably out of the question
