An example would be Crysis. Unless you manually edit the config files the maximum graphical settings available in Crysis are actually higher in Vista than XP and under DX10 the game runs much...

3.5Ghz stock haha. Really nice for those who don't want to overclock I guess. Although I doubt it's likely going to come cheap.

Been flicking through this Scan build http://3xs.scan.co.uk/ShowSystem.asp?SystemID=979 and i see it comes with said Corsair PSU and a GTX 260 ... Anyhow, the other week i was in Scan and purchasing a 4850 and said PSU. Guy behind the counter tries badgering me to upgrade to the dearer one (550W) saying the 4850's are really hungry and this low power one might not work - But it will power a GTX 260, even though the recommended for them...

PZ Try more like over £125 as the socket 1366 motherboards are much more expensive and so is buying three DIMMs of RAM unless you want to stay with 3GB of system RAM...

1. Does your printer have WIFI capability?
2. Does your printer have a network input? Lots of modern ones do.
3. Have you looked to see if you can get some kind of adapter that will go between your printers USB port and a router network point? I don't know if they exist, but would not be surprised.
4. What make and model is your printer?

if AMD can afford to use more expensive chips but just disable some of the cores or cache or something like that, why don't they just sell the better chips at a cheaper price to battle with Intel a bit more?

Depends on what you want it for, usage is what will have the biggest effect on what you should be looking to get.
Pre-built systems can be a lot less hassle, again depending on what you want it for and how much experience in building pc's you have.
With out a rough idea of what you want to use it for any sugestion is utterly pointless. I'm not trying to put you off, just my honest ...

The first question is whether your current moutherboard in the shuttle allows for overclocking? If it does then I would give overclocking a go, and see if it meets your needs, or if not then consider the new CPU, although I do not think that there would be a huge difference from the CPU you listed.
As your current CPU is a " black" edition, it comes with an unlocked mulitplier, which means ...

Cheers AFAIK,higher voltage DDR3 RAM should work fine with a Phenom II as the lower voltage stuff was more for the socket 1156 processors - don't quote me on it though!

You won't get much better for that sort of price, unless you somehow squeezed in a cheap GPU for hybrid crossfire or something else, although it's not entirely neccesary.
Could take a gamble on unlocking a dual core if you wanna save a bit

Ok, what are the prices on thoes?
The 5750 stick out as not that good, and the 750w TX as overpowered for what you have in there.
Replaceing the 750w TX with a VX450w should cut the cost down a chunk, which I'd then put back into the graphics card (assuming you want it for games) look at a 5770 or 5850
