Shuttle SB83G5C - HTPC

wmmartin · 2nd April 2006, 6:06 PM

Hi Guys,

I'm thinking about setting up a HTPC with the Shuttle SB83G5C and just wanted to know if anyone was aware of any nasties, and or quirks I should be made aware of?

Any tips, suggestions etc?

all HTPC should be very quite.... how does this thing rate for noise? Also think about the amount of heat your going to put out ... mine htpc heats my livingroom overnight

What CPU are you planning to use?

I was planning on a Celeron D 2.8. Or an LGA775 P4 if I can get one cheap enough second hand that hasn't been OC'd. I suppose I should take into account the heat generated now you mention it as well scott.
So much I hadn't actually thought about :S
