New SFF boxes

[Graeme*Kustom*]

We have three new cases that I'm trying to get in stock for us

1. Gigabyte Slim Barebones - we get the P4 versions in next week

2. An alu FlexATX box that bears a strong resembalance to SV24s. Only it's not got a board in it. Due early september

3. The Lian Li mini cube . We should be able to have these in a month or so.

I've been busy. :)

Very busy indeed, Mr G.

Lots of folk have been crying out for more little cases for ages. I reckon these will be very popular.

I can't justify getting ANOTHER case though :(

Or maybe I'll have to start selling a few off?

[Graeme*Kustom*]

update - the Shuttle style boxes will be here on Tuesday !

[Gordy]

Oooh i want to see pics of these :)

[Graeme*Kustom*]

you'll see on Tuesday evening :)

It looks the same as an SV24 minus the audio ports and floppy bay, but with an acrylic panel over the front (ala SS40)

On another note, we should have different coloured fronts SS40s/51s very soon - will be just like your mobile phones!

[Big Adam]

Of course, I could be wrong but if you can't wait for Tuesday, I reckon they'll look like this:

Kinda teeny tiny huh?
If they're the ones I believe, they are mini-ITX compatible only and come with a 180W PSU as standard.

Eeewwww wot colour I like the idea of these :D

[Graeme*Kustom*]

Adam,

That's the one. How did you know? :)

[Big Adam]

My SFF spies are everywhere! :eek:

You want the truth? There's another UK supplier getting these in although not for a while. Your description and the piccie matched so I put 2 and 2 together.

As far as I can tell, you'll definitely be the 1st UK supplier with these in stock.

:D

Much as these are nice looking (and a decent size PSU too), I really like the sound of those other wee boxes you're talking about. Lian-li Mmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Yeah wanted this case but decided to wait as I don't trust the other supplier much. This is good news.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

we've got good pals with a few people, which is helping us get first shouts on a lot of stuff

[JADS]

If I was going for an SFF PC,it would have to be one of these, :)

[PJ Matthews]

Yes but that box contains shuttle motherboards - we want one for our Edens.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

The Polo actually looks like an SS40/51 with a new skin on it - the shape of the case looks the same

[JADS]

It does, but it is a very nice skin, :)

[Graeme*Kustom*]

These new 'bare shuttle style' cases are great ! Very quiet 80mm fan on the psu , in a box the same size as the sv24 ! The alu has a glazed finish, and the perspex front looks great ! I like this product :)

[eddy]

Graeme, will you be recommending compatible mobos for the new "SV24" case?

I've noticed others asking about mobos. I know they're in your price list, why not add them to the side menu?

Or perhaps I really do need glasses... :cool:

[rowland]

alright I give in, its tuesday night and I cannot find these cases anywhere on your website. How much and whats delivery, as a certain other website is quoteing 6th sep at earliest. If this is the case I think it is, then its micro-itx for the via epia :D

[PJ Matthews]

Yes it is an Ultim8pc arn't as close to their vendors as Graeme is.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

I'll get them on the site in an hour or two... I'm busy with emails just now (yes, it's been one of those days - we had a crazy amount of orders to send out!) but as soon as I've finished there I'll get photos and pricing done.

Oh, and there's another case going on there too - the Suntek Easy PC, we have those now

[Graeme*Kustom*]

right, I've got all the photos now. I'm going home to work on the site back there... I've been in this place more than enough today :)

[Graeme*Kustom*]

Alu ITX cube is there now.

http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/product.php?subcat=4

The G-max and Easy PC units will be there in the next hour or so

[rowland]

thanks for putting the mini-itx cube case on to website, have ordered one with a motherboard to go with it :) :) :)

[Graeme*Kustom*]

bloomin' eck, don't hang about do you? :)

[afraser2k]

I'd like to add that I think these cases look superb and with the addition of a combination DVD/CD-RW drive (like the Ricoh 9060A) and a GF4 Ti4200 I think it will be very successful for LAN gaming. That is currently my plan and also the addition of a case handle mod.

PS: Hi all. :)

[PJ Matthews]

You on about the mini-itx cases for Epias which have no AGP slot so would be pointless? You got your wires cross? Do I?

Where am I? Who am I?

[Big Adam]

Yeah, you mean the SS51 don't you? It's the only Shuttle that'll hold it's own (and command respect) at a LAN.

The Epia's a couple of generations back in terms of gaming but are ideal for MP3, DVD, Office applications etc.

[Graeme*Kustom*]

The Gigabyte P4 Slim units have 64mb Radeon cards in em (half height of course!) they're actually not bad for games.

Good for all the usual lan stuff anyway (UT, QIII, CS etc)

[minagi]

Any update on those replacement SS40/51 front panels? I really need to get hold of a clear one for my SS51G to replace the nasty blue. :)

Also, do you know if they will they have the new XPC logo (SS51G) or the older Shuttle logo?

[Graeme*Kustom*]

Hi there

They'll be here within a week. I think it's red green and blue that are coming in.

I'm not sure what the logo will be yet.

[minagi]

Cheers, I'll definitely be grabbing one of those.

Any chance of getting the clear ones in at a later date?
