Shuttle's New XPC Mini-PC Packs Intel's G45 Chipset, Supports Core 2 Quad

While Shuttle’s new XPC SG45H7 might not have many discernable differences from the usual Shuttle system, it’s got a hidden treasure trove of new features hidden underneath that compact chassis.
The XPC SG45H7 only comes in black, but it sports plenty of powerful pieces underneath the hood. For starters, they’re shipping Intel’s G45 Express chipset topped off with your choice of an Intel Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo processor. This is mostly thanks to the improved cooling and space provided by the new H7 case, which is slightly bigger than previous Shuttle PCs. It allows for a larger, quieter power supply fan, room for dual-slot graphics and up to four sticks of memory.
This slick little box is available from specialist retailers with prices listed as low as $349. And with this economy, prices that low coupled with hardware that hot is a combination that’s tough to beat.

Useless as a desktop box (to me), but I bought a Shuttle bare-bones for use as a Linux server awhile back. Small, quiet, and I stashed it in a corner. Works great.
I like it

This woud be a great choice for a home media server, or something like that. Or for the Ms. who doesn't need a gaming machine. or perhaps I'll use it as my "torrent download & experimental" machine.
Small machines like this definately have a use.
