I can't believe how much hot crap they can shove into those small cases. Really a marvel of computer design.
Other than the square (non standard AV component design) it looks nice. For an HTPC however, I prefer to have normal sized equipment. Something that looks more like a reciever - or at least around the same size as one. I must admit though that I have been tempted more than one time to get one of these just to clear up a bit of space in my office.

What's HTPC stand for?
Those Shuttle XPCs look awesome. I want one someday. It probably runs pretty cool with a nice fan as it's so small and you just need air moving fast and almost all the air hits almost all of the corners of the case.

HTPC
Home Theater Personal Computer. Think of it as a dedicated audio/video computer. Mix a DVD player, a TiVO, a jukebox, TV tuner, etc... all into one and you have an HTPC.

It's pretty cool. I'd like to see more AMD stuff from Shuttle though.
As far as HTPC cases go, Ahanix is the ultimate. They have the best stuff, no questions asked. Check it out. They are coming out with a new mini-ITX box that's just a shade larger than the new Apple.
I also wish that IWILL had more models in ther SFF lineup, and that they were easier to find. Those things rock.

thanks I'll check it out...
