If you're using a micro-atx mobo/build, the Silverstone SG01 Evolution may fit the billing.

I think it runs about $100-$120 ish these days
It was some sort of issue with the outlets in my room. The PC shutdown fine in other areas of my home. Wow, to see that the source of my problems was the freakin' outlet is crazy. Thanks.
Got the hot fix installed properly and I did some further testing with my system...and it doesn't seem like it's the OS and the mobo now.
It's some sort of weird issue with power. I took the PC to work and had the IT guy look at it and it shut down with no problems on all attempts. I tested...
It's confirmed - the hotfix causes a whole new issue for my system. I called MS up for tech support but the person I spoke with admitted that this is an issue that's been reported by 3 other users without any resolutions thus far. I'm waiting for their callback at this point. Maybe I should just...
Yup that's the link I used. Looks like I messed up the instructions a bit, haha. I guess the frustration has affected my reading ability. Will report back tomorrow night!
Update: I found out the exact source of the problem and it is Windows and how it is detecting my dual-core processor. I decided to do some more testing this weekend so I reinstalled the illegitimate copy of windows xp today, but shutdown didn't work at first. I powered back on and checked...
No need to apologize dude; I appreciate all help/advice I receive. I'm pretty sure it isn't the power management options because I did check, but I'll check it again tonight.
I'll probably try another reinstall with Windows XP SP1 and work my way up patch wise after I've tried out some of...
I'll give that program a shot later tonight Bchivers.
In response to Hennessy1:
So yesterday, I decided to wipe my hard drive and reinstall (friend's suggestion). I used an older windows xp sp2 pro disc that my buddy gave me and after installation, my pc shuts down completely.
The only...
yeah i actually did check it out before i posted. None of what I did which was suggested on the site helped...fans are still spinning.
It's a good stable board aside from this annoying issue. I can't seem to get ahold of tech support at Biostar and I'm really disappointed at their poor...
Hey everyone, I didn't want to start a new thread so I'm going to bump this up because I'm currently experiencing the same issue with some minor differences from the OP.
I recently bought a Biostar TA690G and have been having problems shutting down Windows XP SP2 (Fresh Install). Everything...
Available for pre-order at outpost for $100.

Both rebate forms require the original UPCs and state they are not valid with any other Logitech sponsored offers, hence you won't be able to double dip.
There's a MSI AM2 equivilent, but I believe the availability is pretty scarce in the U.S.

On another issue, Avi85 pointed out that he was using a 30mm fan ( EVERCOOL EC3010 ) on his northbridge. Anyone else have experience with this fan in regards to it's noise...
Pretty reliable PSU. Not the quietest, but it will do in systems that aren't built with power hungry parts.
If you plan on investing for the future, you might want to look at something else because all newer stuff draws more from the 12v rail.
seagate rebates take awhile...
I also noticed that their newer drives vibrate more than the older ones...
I have a 40gb barracuda w/ 2mb buffer and one of these. The former has next to no vibration, while with the latter I can feel the whole hard drive cage kinda rattle when I touch it.
it's a nice laptop....it's about 5 1/2 lbs with the battery in it, but my main complaint is that the left palmrest (where the HD is) tends to get a bit too warm for my liking.
Running on battery, the laptop has lasted me about 3 hrs. and 40 minutes on average. Can never really get that 4...
correct me if I'm wrong but if you swap out the Dell PSU, you're gonna have to take out the Dell mobo too.
Last I heard, non-dell PSUs don't play nice with Dell mobos and vice versa.
IF the memory you receive is a refurb, it'll come in a clear memory container. The heatspreader will also have scratches on it and the UPC barcode will not match the one on the rebate form.
There's a chance that if you get the refurb, you may get bh5 ICs, but I can't validate that. I got a...
