yeh? which one's that ?
I'm not too keen on the previous models, but these later brushed aluminium ones are sweeet.
nForce2 chipset - which is good, and Geforce 4 MX integrated graphics ..

It's a nice system...
I'm not sure if this shuttle allows you to adjust multipliers, but if it does, just get a xp2400, as they can easily run at xp2600 specs. And you get to save 60 quid...

Paul - I'd say it's about as upgradable as any mobo can be ..
and l33t - not sure about the multipliers - but I know that you can't adjust the cpu voltage - so it can't be oc'ed by much. Plus its small size doesn't make it ideal to overclock - Im not too keen on overclocking personally anyway . I'll look into it tho - would be good to save a bit of £ , thanks

The mobo definately isn't standard ATX sized... still, it's a very desirable piece of equiment IMO
I believe there are a few people over at forums.overclockers.co.uk with the shuttle you're looking at
