I currently have a MATX box for my lan box but it is a little bit on the large size for a media box the case I am useing is an Inwin case CASE PIC and the current specs of the system are below, I am just getting bored and wanna buy something new, and I am going to spend about 300 bucks, so I am either going to get a SS51 or an GF4Ti4400-4600. I am going to be buying tommrow and can't decide.

P4 2.0A Chip
Asus P4S333-M
256 DDR PC2100 Runs in this board at 333 just fine
ATI 8500 128 MB 275/275
80 Gig WD 7200
16X Toshiba

I was actually going to sell this box, but the buyer backed out and now I am just going to hang on to it as my main rig has been having some issues. Any outside input would be great, only problem I do have with the SS51 is that I am Paying 300 bucks for a case and board, but it is so damn cool looking, and the problem with the video card is that I only game at 1024 anyway, so I would not see all that much improvement.
 
Well, hmmm . . . why not pick up the SS51 and sell the old case, power supply, and motherboard? I'm sure you could find a buyer for some or all of those pieces, and then it wouldn't set you back the full $300. As you mentioned, the upgrade to a GeForce4 wouldn't be all that useful at 1024x768 anyway, except if you wanted to run some insane FSAA or ansiotropic settings. And plus, the SS51 does make an impression. 🙂
