Shuttle SN41G2 (quietened but not silent)
AMD Athlon XP 2100+
512MB RAM
Integrated nForce graphics
160GB + 300GB 7200rpm EIDE disks
Pioneer 16x DVD-RW thing
(used to contain a Nebula DigiTV card but no use here
)
-> hooked up to 43" plasma and 5.1 surround amp/speakers
-> good for Torrent playback and iTunes!
Thinkpad X31
Pentium M 1.4Ghz
1GB RAM, 80GB HD
(c. 7000HKD from WCC - 2nd hand)
Very tempted to replace Shuttle with a Mac Mini (would plan to try OSX with FrontRow but probably run WinXP or WinMCE now that its feasible). Shuttle would become file server and photo editing PC (requiring more expenditure on a nice Dell monitor no doubt).
Out of interest anyone know if there's a place to pick up a high-spec 2nd hand Athlon XP chip? I.e. to squeeze a bit more out of my shuttle. The guys in WCC just sniggered when I mentioned Socket A!
