The Shuttle was created by Nik
I got this pretty little thing 3 days ago from a friend, just needed a lot of cleaning an a fresh OS.
Label says it's from 2004.
Just swapped the 40 GB harddrive for a 80 GB one and upgraded the RAM from 768 MB to 1,5 GB.
Tried to put it a gfx card, but it refuses any card I tried.
SPECS
Shuttle XPC SK43G
flexATX FX-41 mainboard with VIA KM400 chipset
AMD Sempron 2300+ (someone upgraded it before)
1.5 GB DDR Kingston RAM
80 GB Samsung HDD @ SATA
Toshiba DVD-RW @ IDE
S3 gfx chip onboard

I love these little machines I built quite a few socket A versions and the odd Pentium 4 one back in 2003-2005 for customers.
I actually had a Socket 775 one myself a few years back, just as socket 775 was being phased out a UK supplier was selling them very cheap brand new and boxed it performed quiet well.
I always liked the CPU cooler idea with the plate on the CPU its self leading up to a heatsink via some heat pipes with a fan exhausting the heat

as it's just a side project, I'll keep it in mind, but without priority.
there are some other project to finish first, like the former "furry" asus A7V8X-X, the dfi lanparty DK 790GX (oops, spoilered
)and some more.
plus I REALLY need more PSUs...

I could've gotten an old shuttle PC for about $15 from some guy on Craigslist about a year ago, but than all of a sudden he stopped texting me. I just recently texted him about it and he told me that he'd check if he still had it. Still no response

It would be even cooler, if I can get a agp card to work. then it's a very cool machine for retro lan parties as it fits easily in my backpack.

I won't give up, I'll get this shuttle running. WITH an extra AGP gfx card. It HAS to work somehow.
