Anyone got a good source for these? I usually use ebuyer but they don't list them :'(

Yuk! Shuttle cases!
Yup, you guessed it, they are on the gay list as well.
I'm guessing it may be cheaper to buy a new shuttle case, if thats the way your sexuality takes you

Was not my choice of purchase, just been given one and diagnosed a ducked PSU.

is the system worth spending that amount on?

i built a shuttle for someone a few years ago i used www.overclockers.co.uk based in smoke on trent they supplied me with all the bits at goodish prices
-
I used to get given them by the bucket full from work. Sorry but got none left now.
Could I suggest before completly condemming the power supply that you check the power button on the front, had more than 1 of these go wrong. It ended up that evertime I got one I pulled the wire off the m/board from the powerswitch and briefly shorted the pins together, sometimes it worked and it was the faulty switch and sometimes it did not meaning faulty power supply.
By the way if you short the 2 pins for to long it will turn off again.

It would do as a print server, its not that old its got firewire ports on the front, not sure on its spec though.
Confirmed its PSU, bodged an ATX one on, turned on fine.

If using Intel netburst or AMD athlon chips, it won't be ideal for leaving on 24/7. Actually, shuttle is too compromised to be on 24/7.
WoL probably won't be the answer either, as it will always keep waking up unless you use magic packets, which will be too much farting around

On the Gay list eh!
Says a lot about me then.
last count I had 7 of them scattered arrourd the house. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Yeh WOL is too unreliable, its only going to be an office print server, father tunnie is the only one that prints, and the printer is in my room >:(

Stopped using them scumbags a while ago, due to making warranty claims hard work and time consuming :(. Still, not quite as bad as Bluepoint....

they must have changed the way they do things I had some faulty memory, sent it back and after testing sent out new sticks with no problems

Scan is £10 more for 1U PSU, i stopped using scan ages ago too.
They were expensive on everything compared to ebuyer.

I always check ebuyer first, had great service from them - they even took back my lcd because it had 2.5 duff pixels and replaced no questions :y

Plomien - No 1U PSU's on those links :(
HerefordElite - Same here, i even had free stuff of them before, ordered 3 hard drives, decided to cancel one rang up, was removed from order & refunded, 3 hard drives still arrived ;D

I had to keep chasing them every time I sent stuff back, with their testing taking 2-3 weeks every time

I used to rate Novatech, thought they went bust several years ago, not used them recently. Often used to pop in the car and drive to Portsmouth :y
7 day shop - don't use them at all now, feed up with constantly sending stuff back for being faulty. They were always quick to replace/refund though, but failure rate of new parts was too high - made me wonder if parts I sent back got thrown back on the shelves as new....

Not when you walk in the shop with it and have known the owners since they ran the company from an old wooden shack in Little Lever. ;D

I think I might still have a 200W one knocking about somewhere, will have a look for it if you still need one?

Last time I complained to them many years ago, I gave them such a hard time they also sent me 6 T-shirts (with Scan printed on the back) as a sweetener. They are bloody handy for working on the car :) :) ;)
