I had a look at the dell ones but it says on the customize bit that the Core 2 duo cpus arent compatible with vista premium  :?

edit: can shuttles take full size pci-e cards?

Yup, the take normal everything, cept you can only have 2 pci/pci-x cards (or 1 if your gfx has a huge cooler on it) and they come with their own cpu fan.

ah, I got too much stuff to fit in a shuttle :(

According to ebugger I can do either:

X2 5000
2gb
7600gt
Mobo
= Ã,£345

or

E6400
2gb
7600gt
Mobo
= Ã,£355


Which option is bestest?

Id give it another few weeks for them to sort out Vista, they are still finding things that dont work easily. Latest being internet install disks (although I havent used one since leaving 56kbit).

I assume novatech have gone downhill?

Core 2 not compatible? I have Vista Premium setup with a Core 2 6300, 1gb ddr2, 80gb sata, 7300GS and wireless.... works really well.

Some sites do talk/spec nonsense.
