Shuttle Case for NV5000

[Chimp 0]

Thinking of buying a shuttle case for my NV5000 to have a dedicated system.

Anyone else used them? Does the card fit in ok? Are there any issues with cooling etc?

I read another post about cooling being a problem, but it was suggesting people were putting the case in a cubboard or something similar.

Are there any known issues with any of the hardware specific to shuttle systems?

Also as the expansion slot will be taken up with the NV5000, is there likely to be any issue with using the onboard graphics.

Just looking for some opinions and recommendations.

Regards

We built Video Insight systems into Shuttle boxes for years, and installing Vigil DVRs built on them as well (in fact, 3xLogic is still using the Shuttle machines). Aside from a spate of older machines that died from the dreaded "capacitor plague", they've been pretty reliable (well, one really old model had a poor design for mounting a second internal drive that resulted in those dying from heat issues).

 

All of these are using or have been using the onboard graphics, no problems. Your only issue will probably be whether the card fits, but the only ones we had any issues with with the older, VERY long Video Insight 240fps cards. That will depend a bit on the specific box as well, though.
