Hopefully this is what odie is talking about. Maybe this is the smaller shuttle, maybe the system they are teaming up to bring us. I can't wait to see. Please if anybody gets some info, let us know.

Heh, yeah, you'll be lucky mate - just don't expect me to pop it in a jiffy bag and send it Royal Mail for £2 But surely given your links you could start bringing Soldam units over? Maybe even become a UK supplier?! Take it easy, James |

Gah! I really hope it comes out soon. I need to hurry up and make a new system so I can play FS 2k4! I might end up getting the black version of the SB61G (or is it 62G?) I was thinking of ordering it from Soldam, but the cost just isn't worth it no matter how slick it is.

Isn't the fav the model that costs about 50% extra for the special paint finish? I hope Soldam make a non-fav version of it :\

Yeah, but the all aluminium case is what's so bloody gorgeous about the system!
The dilema that I am faced with is what LCD monitor mouse/keyboard combo to pair up with the best looking PC ever made?!
Take it easy,
James

Whahey, it looks like you Yanks should be a happy bunch in a few weeks or so There's no mention of the price though...and this model is using the older FB51 motherboard; I believe Soldam will be updating the FAV to use an FB61 pretty soon. Take it easy, James |

Check out the Acer AL732, aluminium bezel and solid aluminium base. Good response time, but if you do heavy publishing/graphics work, you may have issues with the number of colours is supposedly supports. But for BF1942, I cannot complain  Oh, and don't forget the blue power button light that matches the one on the shuttle  |

I hope the prices aren't too outrageous on this...but if they do have FB61 based Polo R FAV then I'm placing an order immediately...haha. Heck, I'd probably even settle fo the FB51 model. :-p |

All the Polo R series are made of all aluminumn. The FAV series have a hand done paint job with 2 hours of preparation, multiple coats etc. The finish is very nice, but not %50 of cost nicer . Take a look at the pics on the Soldam website and you will see what I mean |

Yeah, I was doing some sums on this earlier today...it's crazy money...do I really need one?! Will I even get the time to play with it once I'm out there? etc.
I love the Soldam website though - no end of close-up pictures to look at - the alluminium shell, together with the precise 'line-up' of the entire case just oozes quality.
It's just a question of whether or not this 'quality' is work £650?
Take it easy,
James

If you have to think about whether it's worth it, then it's not! |
