Edit: Updated picture
 
AWESOME! :eek: Great thinking on cutting it up. Maybe you should make a black aluminum cover for it so that it blends in.
 
I was thinking the same thing or maybe a Lexan and Black Cover so you can still see that heatsink. I actually think it looks cool how it is I just would want it covered with something clear if it was mine.

Here's the requested internal pic

PSU is holding up fine - it is an upgraded Shuttle PC50 300W PSU, I have played MANY continous hours of BF2 with no issues!

System Specs:
SB83G5: P4 3.4 EE, EVGA 7800GTX 512, 2GB Corsair XMS, Audigy2 ZS, Samsung 160GB SATA, NEC DVD/RW, Dell 2001FP, Klipsch 4.1
 
Temps are very good since the cooler is basically outside of the case: Idle 38C / Load 58C
 
Stock cooler - 7800GTX 512

I'm not worried about the fan - where it is positioned on my desk it's right next to a shelf so there is no chance of anything hitting it.

As soon as the new Shuttle SN21G5 is released I will be swapping all of my parts (except the CPU) to it and it will look identical except for the FX-55 under the covers! :cool:
 
How did you fit the pc50 in there. I have a g chassis, the sn95v3 g5 and its doesn't support the pc-50. I'd be real happy if you could take a picture of the other side where the pc-50 is.
Thanks,
Chris

You can see in the picture where I dremelled / filed off a small section of the rear chasis for the lower plug location of the PC-50.

You will also need to install the memory before installing the PSU as there is minimal clearance.

(Disregard the fan mounted on the rear - that was only due to the watercooling kit I had installed internally)

I don't know how do you do that, but I have a SN95G5 and there's no 'minimal clearance', there's 0 clearance. The PC50 psu touches the top of my A-Data's aluminum heatsinks. I don't know how in the hell I'm going to shrink this psu in there. :(

You guys think an 8800gtx would fit in one of those cases?

I am doubtful that an 8800GTX would fit, definitely would look at using a Thermaltake 5 1/4 bay PSU in place of the optical drive.

I may have to try it out :D

Just lucky I guess, I have two sets of Patriot 6400 LLK CAS4, one set will post and run at stock voltage, the other set needs 2.0V to run without errors but it will post.
 
Hi im about to purchase one of the new G33G5 shuttles. Dworley did your PSU run fine with the GTS in there? I have a gts and i am planning on running that till i get a better card down the line.

Also are you interested in the new G33 Shuttles? whats your opinion on them?

Thanks.
 
I should have bought that evga KO card - probably would look better with that cooler!

I'm using the upgrade Shuttle 300W PSU in my system and the power supply does run pretty hot under full gaming load - I'm sure it is maxed out ;)
 
That is one of the most awesome SFF threads ever. That just makes me feel like doing the same thing. I am inspired! :O

EDIT: Saw Dworleys other thread and it does work! Hallelujah!

lol Couldnt find a smaller cooler instead?

IMO that looks much better than just a sidepanel, much more powerful looking.

if it wasn't for my want for water cooling, I would definitely take up having a shuttle as a main rig again.
 
I think that poor little Shuttle will explode once the next generation of cards comes out.
