What CPU to use ???
I am setting up shuttle system:
It is designed to run non-stop, so reliability is paramount;
It uses i-ram its quite big I have been told 4GB
??? Motherboard it depends on CPU with 2GB Ram
It needs Network fascilities USB 2 etc.
1 USB External HDD
No Video
No Sound
I found out that the CPU that was recommended gets very hot, which threw a curved ball need to reconsider setup
Thanks in advance

Sorry I screwed up, currently buying 3 comp got mixed up.
This is for the Media Centre
Case: Silverstone Touch Screen Media Centre LC18
M/board: ASUS P5LD2 Sck 775 i945
CPU: Pent4 631 3.0GHz 800MHz
Heard the CPU gets very Hot, should I get another combiantion ????

here the max temps for cpu's :
www.heatsink-guide.com/maxtemp.shtml
they say 64 to 76°C for your model

If you're concerned about heat, you can always try to look for good heatsinks and fans. But that is really more of a concern when you're trying to get into overclocking than it is for normal usage.
I don't think you have a problem and that you should stick to your plan.
Any advanced CPU is going to get hot so the thing to do is ensure you have good cooling.
Use a good CPU cooler and make sure you have good air flow through the case.
Think about which fan is doing what and the locations of air inlets so you don't have and airflow path that bypasses the area of the CPU in the case.
~ For instance an 'in' fan or air inlet right next to an 'out' fan might send air in and out in a short loop without going -through- the case and past the CPU's cooler. If thast happens the CPU's cooler is just sending the same air in a circle.
~ Also if you use an 'in' fan that moves more air (CFM = Cubic Feet/Minute) than your exhaust fans you will be blowing air out the vents rather than them functioning as air inlets. (In engineering that's called positive ventillation, more forced in than forced out. In a typical PC case you would want a healthy negative ventillation which ensures air comes IN through the vents. The vents in most cases are located with that in mind.)
You can compare one Intel CPU to another by going here:

Look for the "Thermal Spec", it will be given in °C.
