Hey Wolf. Why wouldn't your mobo support TV input cards?

This setup...
Shuttle SN45GV2 (Barebone, with onchip soundstorm & Lan card)
AOpen geforce ti4200 128Mb Ram (soon to be updated)
512 Mb Twinmos PC3200 RAM
An IBM floppy
Hitachi DVD rom
Hitachi deskstar 120GB 8Mb cache
Western Digital 40GB
Athlon mobile xp 2500@3200 1.475v mounted with AS5
No flat cables and four fans@100+ cfms (five fans counting the one on the graphics card)
Stock heatpipe cooling for the processor.
Insulated case (was worried that it'd raise my temps, but it seems to have helped me focus the airflow better thus actually helping with the temps, at least short term, while removing all vibrations)
Wrapped screws (to remove vibrations)
It's a work in progress tho', my main rig took a dive this summer, and messed up a lot of components, so I've had to make do with spares in this one.
Components I'm gonna get in the near future (hopefully) are a graphics card (probably an ati 9600xt 256Mb, but possibly a geforce 6600gt if I can think of a way to make the cooling better without raising the sound levels), a dvd burner (or a slim dvd rom from a laptop if possible and an external burner), 512megs more ram, 2-3 hds, an external usb floppy, a different case cover (more open with better airflow), some panflo or everflow fans (one 40-50mm, 1-3 80mm, 1 120mm and maybe one 92mm fan and of course a 80->120mm fan) and some plexiglass and paint.
There may be some extensive cutting and drilling* before I'm satisfied with this case (I just hope I'll have the time and money).
*Not to make it look prettier tho', and I need pretty much all of that plexiglas to improve the cooling by focusing the airflow, 'cept for the paint nothing is purely cosmetic.

Since when is heatpipe cooling stock?

Since I bought a shuttle.

I'm interested to know why you feel the need for five to eight fans?Since I bought a shuttle.
I have a very similar Shuttle, the XPC model KM266-8235, and I only have the stock fan and the fan on my video card and my system consistantly runs at the set temp.

My ambient temps go up something fierce in the summer.
The idea is to mount a push-pull config through the heatpipe radiator (2 fans), a blowhole above the gfx card (and possible another closer to the psu as well) and one intake and one exhaust fan through the front section.
With one extra 3.5 unit in there you need the last to keep the ram and northbridge cool.
And I might actually swap the psu fan.
I'm not the first to think of any of this, and the two front fans I'm already trying, and it's good, but I want different fans. I've also got an akasa blower at the pci slot.
I like my fans
It goes whoooosh, when all fans are set to max
Edit: a lot of fans might be a noticeable power drain tho', so it's still experimental.
