I am looking at starting over, because my current pc really SUCKS! I would like to use the working components from my current pc and build a new rig all together. I'm considering something along the line of a Shuttle, but am concerned about the low power PSU's that come with their systems. Are there existing high quality PSU's that you can swap out for the standard PSU that comes with the barebones set up? Can I install a standard PSU in its place? Anybody out there previously build a Shuttle or micro pc before? The reason that I'm looking at something like a shuttle is because of the smaller size. I'm basic all the way, although I do like quality over quantity. Not a huge gamer, so there's no need to go SLI or invest in a monster video card and a single Optic drive/HD set up will more than suffice. Plus, the cuter the box the more money I should be able to squeeze from my wife...HA!

Thanks in advance!

With the Shuttle's you are locked into their hardware. Look at the Qpack cases or Lian Li PC-V300, those you can use standard mATX mobos, PSUs. Both accommodate stock cooling and some low profile coolers. Hell there are some water kits for the Qpacks.

Yup and Shuttle PSUs are priority,like said above go with a m-atx case that can accept standard ATX PSUs. Antec and Thermaltake have some nice looking cases as well

wow!

I never knew that lian li case existed. That is a pretty cool case!!!

yeah its pretty slick for its size.
