You absolutely, positively have to get a hyper-threading processor. Otherwise, you might as well get the SS51 and save some money (or trade the SB51 for my SS51!!!!) I'd recommend a 5400 rpm drive if you'd like to keep it quiet (there are some very quiet 7200's out there, but they are pricey) As far...

Slow? Slow you say? I think that's a lot more dependent on what you put in it. I have a ss51 -- 2.53 GHz w/ 512MB of PC2700 and a 7200rpm drive. I don't think that it is slow at all.

Shuttle -- What are you using your 3.5 bay for?

I'm a bit curious what everyone is using their 3.5 bay for on a shuttle cube (or similar). I suppose that some may actually have a floppy in there, but for those that don't... My SS51 has the bay empty with an aluminum dual-temp LCD display. Both of my sv24's have the bay empty with the included fro...
