Yeah, Wench was a shuttle for a long time with two HDs, one in the floppy slot. Yeah I've got a 2.4GHz P4 in Wench and it still seems to run bastard cool.

So I bought a pundit too, as I wanted a quiet livingroom pc that'd do tv out.<br>I'm very pleased with it. A delight to put together compared to the shuttle. Far better because of its flat design than the box of the shuttle, much easier to fit stuff in. only Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-42398244664401993752003-09-06T00:24:00.004+01:002003-09-06T00:24:00.004+01:00The P4 turned up, upgrade done.

Not much room between PSU fan and the DVD drive either.I put in a slot-based DVD drive as I figured that was most suitable for verticle mounting and for DVD playback.

This means you've got to keep a load of free space at the side of the fucker, so you might as well have had a bigger case without vents. Bit annoying, but they still look cute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-59280248044018485622003-09-06T00:24:00.002+01:002003-09-06T00:24:00.002+01:00About £120.

There's no floppy at all. The drive thing is a tad annoying, means I have to leave my firewire drive plugged into the front panel, I had planned to rip the drive out and put it in the case...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961660238450693245.post-31596948266889487002003-09-06T00:24:00.001+01:002003-09-06T00:24:00.001+01:00What price the Pundit case?The problem I have with...What price the Pundit case?<br>The problem I have with the cube cases is that they aren't a suitable shape.
