Stealth system vs Shuttle SS51

[bruceyeah]

Stuck in the UK with no PC, I'm torn between getting an AMD Stealth system or a Shuttle SS51.

Ok... I'd love to hear some opinions, which is better "bang for buck"?
:confused:
...and also, which is quieter?

Or am I better off waiting an eternity for the SN40?

I would say shuttle , it has mucho bang for buck and you can fit the latest gfx cards in it :)

[bruceyeah]

That's interesting... is there an issue with fitting the latest graphics cards in a Stealth system?

Between the two, the Shuttle is slightly quieter .

The difference with Stealth is you can make it what you want - an AMD or P4 setup is possible. AMD's are better bang for your buck wheras p4s cost a lot more and give slightly better performance. Stealth is more expandable (room for 4 expansion cards instead of 2) but is bigger than the Shuttle.

The choice is yours :) email me on graeme@kustom.co.uk if you would like to discuss quotes !

Stick a new XP2600 in it! Or wait for the shuttle. XP2600 announced and reviewed today.

I "think" that it doesnt take full height cards but I could be wrong graeme will know I'm sure :)

You got a little cash?

Take a look at the Lian Li PC-42.

Small footprint but mucho room for expansion, mod-ability, and it'll take as big a card as you can through at it......oh, and it looks gorgeous too!

Steatlh (YY A102) takes 4 full height cards, one of which can be an AGP. We've installed GF3s etc in em plenty of times !
