ipProTech 0 Posted August 16, 2004 They look cool, but the Shuttle is simply a pain in the butt to work with. If you ever need to get back into one, you have to basically tear it all down (no matter what you are trying to get to). I built two solutions like this in the early days and would never do it again. Use only Workstation grade systems. Too many people are still using desktop computers that are not made to be PC DVR's. Desktop systems are not designed to be on 24x7 banging away at the io subsystem. That is what Workstations and Servers are made for. Higher quality parts that last and take the abuse. Workstations are available in P4 or Xeon that give great performance and offer quality that will make the dfference when it comes to keeping or getting referrals from a customer. Here is a good article that helps people understand that a dekstop PC is not a workstation or server grade PC. http://www.intel.com/business/smallbusiness/products/server/rs_checklist.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
