I was browsing through some of my college "for sale" ads and came across this...not sure if I should upgrade, but inquired anyways.

Currently have a Asus A8n SLI Premium mobo w/ AMD 3700+ cpu, 1gig ocz dual chan ram, evga 7800gt gfx card.

Guy built it a couple months back, wants $1200 for it. Good deal? Seems OK for the $$, but I'm not familiar w/ the processor or shuttle systems.

Shuttles you're lmited by the psu and space, when i had an sn25p shuttle with a 350 psu the 2900xt radeon refused to work, with a 400 watt psu it worked but barely and would shut the system down in games. Some cards wont fit into them either because of the cramped space, better off with a regular tower case, shuttle are just too limiting.

Yea, well I guess everything fits, since the guy has apparently been using the PC. But, now that you say it, the 400watt PSU doesn't seem like enough.

The psu in the shuttle is enough to run the gts and the gtx, 2900 though sucks up more power and wouldn't run properly.
