Sled_Dog · 08-18-2001, 11:46 AM

Opinions? Got to be small(mid-tower at most) and preferably light. Looks count. It either has to be like totally square no curves or extreme looking like this one I am considering, http://store.yahoo.com/buycaseonline/milblac.html Help please!

depends on what you want.

i just got a Lian pc68 and it looks not to shabby so far

Poopyhead · 10-27-2001, 12:31 PM

How bout the Shuttle SV24 ???

.SV24

Limited on m/b and power, but add a handle and a P3 1k (or something) to it and you have a screamer thats simple to pack.

Sled : Uhh no because there's no other motherboard that will ever fit in that thing.

Kevin · 10-27-2001, 06:08 PM

All your base are belong to the Chilli Pro Case.

Sled_Dog · 10-27-2001, 06:30 PM

I know Ice I am gonna get it for a PC for my sister I realied that after I started researching.

Poopyhead · 10-27-2001, 09:50 PM

Chilli and p/s = 250$
SV24 includes powersupply + m/b w/ ethernet, dual Firewire, USB, audio in/out, TV out, VGA, front connectors etc on a 1/3 smaller case

for the same price

Add P3-1g, dvd or cd(rw), floppy and mem and your fave hdd---extra PCI slot allows a 64MB PCI GeForce2 MX400 (or your choice) to be added easily for acceptable lan gaming, save more $$$ use a cheap Celeron 1g

one problem their is no expansion slot on the case though there is on the board

iceheart · 10-28-2001, 06:48 AM

Yes there is:

Sled_Dog · 10-28-2001, 10:11 AM

oh I see its on a riser. The pics of the board there is no riser they added that for this case. Hmm I could throw a PCI MX400 in there. But wait that riser does not reach up to the hole...

The riser lays the card over parallel with the board.[

Duh... but it looks like it does not reach up as high as the opeing. I could be wrong though. Well I guess the card prolly sticks up more if you look at your PCI cards they do stick up higher then the slot well if the slot was like that is.

Strafe · 10-28-2001, 09:12 PM

How 'bout the Lian-Li PC-42? Lian-Li seems to be down now so heres a link to so-trick...

Lian-Li PC-42

Even a PC-30 if you need a little more space.

That pandora's box looks pretty cool,now if only I could read japaneze

decodeddiesel · 11-02-2001, 11:09 AM

Personally I would get a Chilli Pro and throw in an ECS board like Kevin did. Maybe a 1GHz Morgan and 256MB of Crucial with a Radeon 8500 or GF3 Ti200. Yes that would be a sweet little lan rig.

Sled_Dog · 11-02-2001, 01:54 PM

I want to build a Cyrix box pelt cool it and try and mad OC it. One of the .13 ones see what i get. Prolly buy an 800 and get 802 with pelt. 801 without pelt.

Sled_Dog · 11-02-2001, 02:01 PM

Well the Pandora looks nice but I am sure expensive and it has the same board as the Shuttle. The ARM is nice and may be the way to go. But I want to build a Cyrix box and OC it like mad
