It's a Shuttle SN45G. Painted black.

* AthlonXP-M '2600+' (~2ghz @ 2.4ghz)
* 1gb PC3200
* Still using the optical out to my Klipsch speakers, and same driver set.
* Using a GeForceFX 5200 (64-bit) at the moment, but replacing that with a FX 5600 VIVO soon

Picture!

And now, on to the mods!

What I'm planning:
* Replaced the stock 80mm Sunon fans with a Zalman ZM-F1
* Cut off the rear fan grille

I'm *thinking* about cutting out the back around the printer port knock-out panel to hard-mount a PCI slot fan. It's either that, or a blowhole. Problem with a blowhole is that I've got my Saitek X45 sitting on top of the case at the moment - nowhere else to really put it, and that'd be a problem, obviously.

the contrast between your black system and the red brick is striking...

Very nice setup. :thumbsup:
I'm normally not a fan of glass desks, but you managed to keep it clean looking!

The layout of the whole desk comes off looking better, IMHO.

It's so pretty, it's breaking my heart....

Yeah, I am. No idea. I think it's a 250w, but not sure - case isn't apart at the moment.

Anyway, ended up putting an 80mm blowhole in the top of it, and cutting the grille off the back. Not 1c difference in temps....except....I'm now using Speedfan to run both fans at 4% whereas I had to run the CPU at 5% to get the same temps before (52C on the core idle). Which is audibly different, so I suppose I'm happy with that. Looks cooler, anyway.
