Thanks

I use one from Ultra Products (http://www.ultraproducts.com) called Micro Fly that is in the small cube size the same as the Shuttle but much cheaper. I get them from Altex (http://altex.com) here in Texas. They have a handle on the front and clear sides so you can add lighted fans and light strips to jazz it up.

Jim, I bought a used Shuttle XPC SN51G, 1.8 GHZ, 1024 Memory, nvivia video card w/RCA-S-video out, 200GB Hard Drive, Soundblaster Sound Card, immaculant condition, for $118.99. Added another 200gb hard drive. It is fast and clean, now I use my laptop for a backup. Although they mostly go for about $200-300. $300 wil get you a nice little Shuttle. Go the Shuttle Webpage for info on build one to your own specifications.
