My Nephew's computer

I am building a new Computer for my Nephew Timmy to use for burning DVDs. I am trying to build a Shuttle XPC Computer for him. With any computer you have to think about the limitations of the box and how the components work together. All of the Shuttle cases come with special miniturized motherboards and less powerful power supplies. This allows he box to run cooler. In building a Shuttle you want to select as few components as possible and preferrably parts which pull as little power as possible (hence generating as little heat as possible). In this instance, I have decided to use the older Northwood Pentium 4 processor over the newer Prescott Pentium 4 Processor for this reason. The newer processor consumes more power and generates more component-life-shortening heat.

Here is an article supporting the decision to go with the older Northwood chip.Why Prescott Sucks by Tom Halfhill

And in case any of you are interested, here are a list of some different processor electrical specifications.
