Which SFF?

[Aximboy]

Hello all!
I need your expert opinion in choosing which SFF to get, as I have no knowledge about it. What are the things to look for & what are the things to avoid? I want one that already has integrated video card. Either Socket 478 or A will do.

Thank you in advance.

i heard shuttle makes good ones
you might wanna check out abit boards too
i suggest getting something with the nforce2 ultra400 chipset if you can
it seems like the best price/performance ratio right now and the 2500+ mobile bartons seem like a nice low power compliment to an sff board and a mini case


good luck

I'll be building it. Budget, under $300 (excluding CPU, RAM, HDD.)

Well... Shuttle is the way to go. I love mine. It really depends on what level of integrated video you want.

You can get an AMD with the Nforce chipset or get an Intel with the ATI chipset.... Or get one with the Intel chipset and integrated video.

The first two will cost you the full$300, and the intel chipset will cost you between $200-$250.

Take your pick..... If you need the higher end integrated video--avoid the Intels.
