My system (see siganture for specs) is almost retirement age now. I started on it about year and a half ago and all the parts I handpicked to provide above average performance (that's before i865 and i875 chipsets showed up and HT CPUs just started to show up and were well over $500 bucks each)...and I still can't find some spare time to stealth that damn DVD drive .
Here's some pics:
Originaly it had an Abit Siluro GF4-Ti4200-8X OTES 128MB video card which I replaced about 2 months ago with brand new Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB I got on eBay for $180 shipped.
I just love the layout of that Shuttle board: power connectors top right, optical drive IDE right center, HDs IDE and SATA bottom right and ton of space around CPU socket. I wish many more boards had similar layout.
All I got to do now is get a good Cu CPU heatsink to match the ones on video card.
Unfortunately this one might be my last full size system since I'm thinking going SFF next.
