Shuttle XPC SD30G2B - no CPU

Compact, sturdy, solid construction and absolutely dependable. I got this unit to replace a sub-par HP 1810y, which just ran slower and slower. Same configuration on this machine and it never misses a beat. My wife uses it as her primary machine....

I've heard the PS doesn't last. Hasn't been a problem yet ; Not a lot of room in the case, but enough for an average build

Ubuntu And Vista Run GREAT. The onboard graphics support Ubuntu's Desktop Effects and Vista Aero. Supports 4GB Ram, Overclocks a E7200 to 4GHz

Q6600 Won't work

Very compact, easily understood instructions ; Does what it is supposed to do

Only one IDE connection, and I missed that in the description. I ended up having to swap my hard drive for a SATA drive so I could connect my DVD drive as well

Excellent case with good cable management. Easy enough to add features exept for trying to get the removable bay back after everything else is in

Small, but that's the major pro. Get's hot if you add something like the 9600 GT. Might have to add some additional holes on the side for vents

Wow! You'll be amazed by this little box. Everything is clean and organized, and it's easy and very intuitive in how you take it apart. Just a great overall design. PSU is efficient and the CPU cooling system was well thought out

That darn blue LED in the front.. I'm using this for an HTPC and that sucker is briiiight. Nothing a little square of electrical tape couldn't take care of though

I bought this unit for a client who is donating it to Habitat for Humanity project in Mexico. Long story short - I installed Windows XP Pro and Ubuntu Linux (dual boot) on it without so much as a hiccup. Granted, the chipset is a bit dated, but overall...

Intel chipset on this Shuttle is a bit long in the tooth

An awesome little box. My current one has the E6850 out of my old Thermaflake FlanBox Blight! They are beautiful and a marvelous engineering feat. The PSU, although small, is very efficient. The ICE2 system keeps the CPU very cool. Easiest build in the...

It could have a few more watts, but what the heck

Used this and some spare parts I had to try out Ubuntu. Here are the parts that were installed: Intel Core2Duo E6600, 4GB RAM ADATA 800MHz, 160GB IDE hard drive (as master), IDE DVD drive (as slave), ATI X600 256MB video card. The latest version of...

Blue LED is too bright, had to cover it up

Small form factor, quiet, great build quality. Mythdora recognized everything and the onboard video outputs to my TV at 1366x768 without a hitch

So far, none (other than the bright (!!!) LED on the front...nothing a little tape didn't solve)

Awesomely fast set up. Magnificent engineering and follow through. The ICE2 system is great for cooling. Too many great features to mention. I am an experienced builder and I am just blown away by this. Tiny, but everything fits and works

250W PSU, but there is a 300W available. BTW, the 450W will NOT fit this box
