OK I'm selling my PC to build a new one out of wood (the case anyway). Yes it sounds wierd but I'm doing it. I plan to use the same components as below so if you only want the shuttle case/motherboard/power suply, I'll sell that for $300 and you can put your own components in it.

It's a shuttle XPC, which is 8x8x11" or so, like a g4 cube on its side. Difference is it takes a desktop combo or super drive (cheap) and up to two desktop hard drives.

It has a 2.4GHz P4 with hyperthreading and 800MHz FSB.

512MB CAS2 400MHz DDR RAM (one stick, will run in faster dual channel mode if you buy another stick)

48X CD-RW/DVD reader combo drive "stealthed" so it looks like the picture below (which is taken from shuttles website)

80GB SATA 7200RPM hard drive.

Radeon 9000 (also has onboard 3d video which is disabled)

6 external USB 2.0 ports (two on front), plus two internal ones for available internal media card reader, bluetooth, or wifi module.

3 external firewire ports (one is 4-pin on front).

10/100 ethernet

6 channel audio with optical in/out.

just one free PCI slot, but everything is integrated.

The thing is very quiet. Quiter than my dual 866 quicksilver. It has never once locked up on the installed windows XP (no CD available). It's a multi-tasking monster since it has hyperthreading. I'm really only selling it so I can make my wierd wood computer... Email fsacj@uaf.edu

of note, this has the expansion capability of a G5 as far as drives go.

More USB ports.

Less Ram
single CPU
1 PCI

OK not really the same... But it's a good LAN gaming box, even though I use it almost exclusivly for video editing, photoshop, and 3d rendering.

Oops, this is a Mac forum.

But seriously, no one interested?
