freeflyer 0 Posted May 13, 2006 Hi Just decided on the Geo 1480 and also need an I/O card for PTZ use. Due to space restrictions, I particularly liked the idea of fitting these into a small form factor case due to the size and noise benefits that can be achieved. Anyone have any advice, experience or guidance here? The only problem I can foresee is that I need to be able to install a graphics card; the 1480 in a PCI slot and have another empty card slot for the I/O card. Is this possible with shuttle systems? Having previously built a shuttle PC before, it’s the preference for me now that they offer Pentium 4 with Intel chipset options; Also; I cant find hardware compatibility links on the Geo site, could someone please advise where I can get the info on compatible hardware for the 1480, i.e. suitable PCI Express graphics cards etc Thanx for any help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyer 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Did I say something wrong here? plenty of views & no replies, was this a bad idea or did I break ettiquette or something? all advice gratefully received, we all have to start at the beginning don't we? I can take the medicine if you tell me whats wrong first doctor... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thomas 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Nope you didn't break any forum guidelines or rules of ettiquette, I think you have just run into something that people may not have tried. With that kind of set up, I would be really, really worried about heat issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflyer 0 Posted June 1, 2006 Thanx Tom I've decided to not go Small Form for that very reason (Heat), I do however still prefer the more silent options available, so will no doubt just use silent fans + PSU's & add heatsinks to dissipate heat where possible, there are some cracking cases available on the market now that offer near silent performance, I'm just building a new Vapochill XS system for my (non DVR) performance PC, will be quieter than a lady's fart when it's finished and it chills the processor to -25C so can easily (& radically) be overclocked - extra oomph for free i say regards - Freeflyer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
