-------------------------

I am NOT interested in OCing - being a weinie. :p

I DO want good gaming performance, and I am TIRED of setting up a pc for myself.

Oh - and QUIET is good, too. I'm tired of listening to the Tbird whine!

Opinions? Abuse??

From the specs, looks good to me. Enjoy it.

im completely happy with the shuttle kt233 athlon version (forget the number)

mine is completely silent, as it lives under the bed, and incidentaly doesnt overheat under there.

its good that you dont want to overclock it, as mine doesnt even tolerate a 2mhz bump in fsb, even though the same components in a full size mobo hit 175 mhz fsb

enjoy

I'm thinking of a similar system at the moment but will probably go for a Athlon 64 3000+ instead.

Looks like a nice little shopping list though, should big step up from a Tbird.
