I'm trying to decide if I want to go small. I am looking at the Shuttle XPC SN41G2B. I am not a big power user and I don't overclock. I mainly use my rig to play games, surf, watch movies, play and rip my own mp3s. I currently only have 1 HDD, but might want two if I don't get a larger one soon. These are the Shuttle's specs:
Supported CPU: AMD Socket A 333/266/200MHz FSB
Mainboard: FN41
Features Dual VGA for Dual Monitor Support
MEM: DDR 200/266/333/400 * 2(Dual Channel)
Expansion Slot PCI * 1 8XAGP * 1
IDE interface ATA-133
USB Port x 4, IEEE1394 x 3, 5.25" Reserved Bay x 1, 3.5" Reserved Bay x 2
Onboard: LAN: RTL8139 10/100,
Onboard VGA:Nvidia, Geforce4 MX 128 MB VGA share memory
Onboard Audio: Avance Logic
Power Supply: Power 200W (PFC)
Aluminum chassis: (L)300*(W)200*(H)185
Includes CPU Heatpipe Cooling Solution (see pics)

I currently have a huge Antec tower, which I like for the internal space, but the weight is a little much. In there is an Abit KR7A-133raid, 1600+, 128mb Ti 4200, PCI: TB Santa cruz, NIC, modem, tv tuner. Then a burner and DVD rom which I would sell and get a combo drive. I really can't decide if I want to give into the SFF or keep my tower. I have wanted one of the SFF for awhile, but I an afraid of the possible limited upgradeability. All, but the TV tuner is integrated. although I would sell it and place my Santa cruz in the PCI slot and the Ti 4200 in the AGP. It would make a nice gaming rig and easily transportable although I have never been to any lan parties. Would the 200w PSU be able to power a Ti 4200, Santa Cruz, 60-120gb HDD? Any thoughts, suggestions?

The PSU will be more than enough. We've recently verified that single slot FX5900Ultra are compatible with the PSU.

I run an XP 1800+ @ 2+GHz, 2 X 256MB Corsair XMS3200, a Samsung 48X Combo Drive, Maxtor 80GB HDD and Radeon 9700 Pro in mine; nary a problem.
