liquidninjas.com: Budget Workstation Article
"I guess I've been spoiled by my ultra fast home PCs, but I just can't stand to do anything on my work PC anymore because of the lag everything has. The worst thing to me is that it makes my MP3s stutter constantly while I'm working, especially if I have more than one thing open. So, I requested a new PC for myself, and I was given a $2000 budget this time. Below is a list of parts and approximate prices for my new toy. The parts themselves were about $1800, but with taxes and shipping, the grand total comes up to just under $2000, without monitors and accessories."
Quote, "On default voltage, the Crucial RAM did fine at the most aggressive settings, but at FSBs 140mhz and up it would start to get a little shady. At 2.7v of vmem, The Crucial could handle anything as high of a bus speed I went. No flakiness at all. The Samsung on the other hand did great at all the agressive settings on default RAM voltage. At 2.7v again, the RAM did fine at aggressive settings. So clearly here, the Samsung has the upper hand. However, these aggressive settings didn't seem to help it out too much on the above benchmarks."

penstarsys.com: Shuttle SS40G Review
Quote, "This is not the standard review of this product, as I was able to get it to work with the VisionTek GeForce 4 MX420 PCI video card. This turned out to be a very impressive combination, which could lend this to be an outstanding value workstation/LAN gaming computer. I was also able to replace the standard Sunon 80 mm fan with the ThermalTake Smart Case Fan with fantastic results in both cooling and noise/vibration production."
