A Suitable Small Form Factor case for Geo 1480 & I/O car

Recommended Posts

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

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...

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.

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
