Default Question

Hi, I am thinking of getting a shuttle pc, those small little cube PCs Lol. Just getting it for the sake of easy to carry around and having an alternate computer. I have heard of good stuffs regarding these SFF comps. Any shops to recommend and what to get?

Shuttle PCs are a load of trouble. Even with water cooling the darn thing got toasted!

Wasn't mine that got toasted. Still I was so horrified I cancled my plans of getting one. You could probably get away with a cool dual core cpu and a midrange card but anything big and hot will eventually lets say find it's way out.

Lol, I got big daddy comp, planning to get a small daddy comp ( shuttle ). But recently I am thinking of getting a new case. The new thermaltake Kandalf seems nice, do you think it will be a good purchase?
