Where has the time gone? My little brother is off to college in another month. So, I get to build him a box. Whoopie!

Well here’s the specs:
Shuttle SN25B SFF Case (with skt 939 nforce4 based mobo)
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Venice core) CPU
1GB (2x512mb) Corsair XMS PC3200 Ram
200Gig Western Digital SATA Drive
Plextor PPX-712SA SATA dual layer DVD Burner
CONNECT3D Radeon X800XL 256M PCIE Video Card

Should be a nice system for college. Plenty fast yet won’t take up a lot of room in a dorm. All the parts should be here in a few days so once I get it tossed together I’ll run a few benchmarks and show off the numbers.

This will be my first real SFF system. My girlfriends system was in a very small case but was still a micro-atx based system. Jamming all that junk in a 8x8x12 inch box sounds like fun!
