My special order Shuttle SB83G5 Barebones System just came in a few days ago but I realised now that this isn't the type of platform that I want to build my new system off. I have with it a Pentium 506 2.66 GHz (EM64T) Processor.
Here are the links to both items at memory express' website:
SB83G5: http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?PageTag=&page=file&memx_menu=EmbedProductDetail.php&DisplayProductID=5003&SID=
Official: http://global.shuttle.com/Product/Barebone/SB83G5.asp
P4 506: http://www.memoryexpress.com/index.php?PageTag=&page=file&memx_menu=EmbedProductDetail.php&DisplayProductID=6247&SID=
The components were purchased a few days ago so I have the receipt. The reason that I can not return them is because the system was special ordered, and the P4 Box was opened by me.
I am putting the system w/ processor up for $550, which is exactly $16 less that what I payed 3 days ago at memory express.
I want to go with another tower system, but if there is no interest I will go ahead and put this system together and keep it. I am quite impressed with shuttle's SFF system, but I realise now that I need the room in the tower for more HDDs.
Anyways, this offer should be valid for a few weeks while I get a few other components together. I will post pictures if need be, but there are an abundant supply on the internet.
On a sidenote, I was glad to see that our e-mails to Global had quite an impact. I would hate to be associated to a "street racing" forum... Not only a few hours ago I was getting a lecture from my rents about the forum... They know I use it, and they watch global, so I would have got pretty owned if it wasn't for the story edit. :thumbsup: to all beyonders who took action on this one.
