Shuttle SN95G5 Owners Look In

Hi, I am thinking about getting a SN95G5 V3 instead of a SN25P. My reasons are I think the SN95G5 looks better, has a PCI slot for my wireless NIC and has been around for longer, so Shuttle should have ironed out the bugs.

I have read a few reviews and the HTT only goes up to 280MHz, I am thinking about getting an 3000+ Venice and plan to overclock. Now this will only allow me to get just over 2.5GHz, will the SN95G5 be are to run stable with the HTT @ 280MHz?

Also, do you think it will be OK to have 2x 250GB Seagates in there, will they get too hot ontop of each other?

Thanks

Not sure on your memory question, but I have been running 2x200WD SATA drives in a stripe set for quite a few months now with no heat issues.

I am folding 24/7 and have seen the temps up around the 60C mark, with no apparent ill effects - even when o/c my CPU from 2.2->2.42GHz.
