Your experiences with socket A SFF PC's

[Kaylya]

I'm looking into getting an SFF PC; some of the models I am looking at are Shuttle SN45G, BioStar iDEQ 200N, and SOLTEK QBIC EQ3702A. I'm looking to make a decent gaming rig out of it (on a budget of about $1k US without monitor); something like AMD 2500+, Radeon 9600, 80 or 120gb hd, 1gb ram (depends a bit on the exact prices of stuff when I buy, a couple weeks from now).

Anyways, anyone have any reccomendations from those models or something similar? Anything I should stay away from?

I would recommend going to www.sudhian.com. THey have the biggest SFF forum, dealing mainly with shuttles. Otherwise an SN45G with a 2500 would probably be great.

I ran a SN45 with a 2500+ for a while. Great for gaming and lan parties. Looked too.

Only reason I changed was so I could do more OC'ing as I didn't want to mod the XPC case.

I just had a shuttle w/ an xp1800+ in there. Using it as a HTPC box and it worked great. I only ordered another case because I wanted to put 2 hard drives and 2 optical drives in there as I had to sell my server so I'm consolidating.

What do you mean by weak power supplies? The quality, or the wattage?
