SHUTTLE SB81P And Aftermarket VGA Coolers

WooKiE_MaN · 17th October 2007, 10:37 PM

ok guys ive got a SHUTTLE SB81P

currently i wish to use my existing PCI Wireless card however i want to put my video card in but i want to change the VGA cooler on it.

Thing is the PCI Wireless card gets in the way of "most" aftermarket coolers

can anyone recommend me a cooler that will fit?

i have looked at the Thermalright V2 Cooler & Thermalright HR-03 Plus VGA Cooler

They looks is if it would fit, but can anyone help me wif this? or is there a web site that has a list of supported coolers for my shuttle?

thanks heaps guys...

The HR-03 will end up outside the side panel. As seen http://www.legionhardware.com/Pics/T...s/Image_00.jpg
The V2 will most definately sit into your wireless card, especially if you put a fan on it, which you will need to do inside a shuttle.

Id be suprised if you can find anything which lets you keep your wireless card. Most aftermarkets take up 2 slots one way or the other and you have no distance each side, unless you cut the side panel. Maybe a ghetto mod with some perspex or something. Cut a hole and then extend the side with perspex showing off the HR-03 and the back of your card?

Thats probably your best option, if you can find some room in the case.

or maybe i just get a decent USB 2.0 wifi adapter??

or get the accesorie that i can add to my shuttle that enables wifi on the back of the case?

Either of those, although you did say you wanted to keep the card you have so bleh. Pretty much rule out all aftermarket coolers thou, there isnt the space.

perhaps go ask on the sudhian/sfftech forums
the guys there are pretty much onto sff mods & aftermarket parts

ask in the generic shuttle forum though (b'coz that's where everyone hangs)
