Shuttle Products
Shuttle M2000
Positives:
Sleek design; copious A/V connectivity; removable drive bay.
Negatives:
Not enough RAM; idling performance; smallish hard drive; lack of expansion options.
Facts:
The Shuttle M2000 is a great-looking living-room system that handles media tasks easily, but its stripped-down specs keep it from doing double duty as your main PC.

Shuttle SN25P
Positives:
Socket 939-based Nforce 4 Ultra chipset motherboard and 350-watt power supply allow for a solid midrange PC; Gigabit Ethernet and 8-channel audio chips are integrated onto the motherboard; x16 PCI Express graphics slot; room for two hard drives.
Negatives:
Limited expansion room (as typical of SFF systems); CPU fan and heat sink make installing components more difficult than need be.
Facts:
The bare-bones Shuttle SN25P PC provides a strong foundation for building a midrange, small-form-factor PC, but the overly complicated CPU fan and heat-sink design might annoy you at certain points during installation.

Shuttle XPC G5 3600mc
Positives:
Nice-looking small-form-factor case; context-sensitive LED; decent upgrade options.
Negatives:
Its Pentium D CPU isn't getting any younger; no room for extra hard drives; much smaller Media Centers are out there; support is strictly B-list.
Facts:
Shuttle's midrange XPC G5 3600mc is slick-looking and compact, but it falls short of other small-form-factor systems such as the Mac Mini and the WinBook Jiv Mini.

Shuttle XPC P2 2700
Positives:
Aggressive pricing that will only get more competitive with AMD's coming price cuts; room for full-size graphics card; uses latest AMD platform; strong performance; two free drive bays for more storage options.
Negatives:
Larger than other small-form-factor PCs; media card reader costs extra.
Facts:
You'll want to give Shuttle's new AMD-based, small-form-factor gaming PC a week or two to see how the coming Athlon price drop will affect the price tag. Assuming that Shuttle continues its aggressive pricing, however, the XPC P2 2700 will deliver lots of bang for your buck.

Shuttle XPC P2 3700g
Positives:
Core 2 Duo processor makes the P2 3700g a great overall performer; dual x16 PCI Express slots give you graphics flexibility; attractive overall design.
Negatives:
You void the warranty if you open the case; relatively meager power supply; Intel chipset precludes you from an Nvidia SLI setup; case is larger than your typical Shuttle chassis.
Facts:
The Shuttle P2 3700g is a relative steal among pricey, high-performance, small-form-factor PCs, but we don't see why Shuttle locks its customers out of getting inside the case.

Shuttle XPC X100
Positives:
Compact size; attractive small-form-factor chassis; 2GB of memory; roomy hard drive.
Negatives:
Lacks default TV tuner and Wi-Fi; giant power brick is a hassle; not a lot of bang for the buck compared to other current PCs.
Facts:
If the Shuttle XPC X100 had come out when it was announced six months ago, we'd like it a lot better. Competing systems such as the WinBook Jiv Mini pack more features into a smaller package, but the trade-off is less RAM and hard-drive space.
Note: This product is part of the Shuttle XPC 100 series. .

Shuttle XPC X200M
Positives:
Attractive, compact design; better basic Windows Vista performance than we anticipated; more features than the previous model.
Negatives:
Disappointing overall performance compared to that of similar systems; no HD optical drive option; opening the box voids the warranty, discouraging DIY upgrades (although the interior is tough to navigate).
Facts:
Shuttle's updated supersmall home theater PC introduces a few new features to bring it inline with similar diminutive living room PCs. It also came to us with Windows Vista Home Premium. If you're in it for the looks (and you don't want HD video), you'll find a system to like here, but we think you'll be able to find more capable PCs on the market soon.
Note: This product is part of the Shuttle XPC X200 series. .
