Shuttle SN41 or SN45?

I wonder what I should buy...the Shuttle barebone SN41G2V2 or the SN45G2V2? The SN45 has a nForce 2 Ultra 400 running at 400 MHz FSB, whereas the SN41 only has a regular nForce 2, leaving it with 333 Mhz.

Anyone who can tell me if this is significant?

It is significant if you want to:
a) overclock (altho, as a shuttle SM45G2V2 owner myself, I wouldn't recommend it)
b) Use an athlon XP 3200+ or the 400FSB varient of the 3000+

Alot of the lower [to mid range] Athlon XPs are going to get whacked, so I'd go with the latest.

yes, some of us devs do (though it's more worrying when GDers go the other way )

get teh SN45G2V2

and also get a athlon XP-M 2500+.. then force the fsb to 400Mhz

runs much cooler than a 3200+

its also cheaper than the 41, and you can put your own decent graphics card into it.

Does a SN45 require any CPU cooling other than the I.C.E-cooling? Do I need a fan or anything?

For what I have seen, all the shuttles have sufficient cooling via heatpipe. A few extra fans never hurts though.

You couldn't really fit any extra fans in. There is virtually no need for it though.

Putting 2 hard disks in can create a lot of heat in a small space, but I have run that sucessfully for 9 months.

*sob*

So I finally get my Sn45 and then a DIMM spot is broken or something...when I put both my KingMax memory sticks it won't boot...when I put one or the other in DIMM 2 it boots, but when I put either in DIMM 1 it won't

And now two weeks to get it replaced...

will: you had a SN45...is the cooling alright if the fan spin up and then spin down occasionally? just a little bit..not like on startup when it goes at full power. but what it really does it just cool the cpu a bit and then it feels its not needed and spins down again, right?

Yeah, I assume you have it on "smart fan" mode (setting in the BIOS)

This is where it speeds up the fan when your hardware heats up, and slows it down as your hardware cools.

The idea is to keep everything at a constant temperature, and minimise noise.

I actually got sick of the fan in my shuttle and replaced it with a quieter one.

A guy at a LAN party I went to had that problem. Is it a really high frequency noise? He had a bunch of other problems too.

Anyone knows how much the fan has to put out to actually cool a SN45? I'm thinking about changing to a fan that runs at the same speed but sounds less...that way I can turn up the rpm of the fan and cool the case without going deaf

I swapped a fan out of my cooler-master case which my server is sitting in at the moment.
