Versitile

I use these as terminals for QuickBooks Point Of Sale running WinXP as well as web servers and desktop workstations running Linux. Excellent for these uses.

Small, quiet, easy to configure

Only single-head display. The nVidia upgrade video card is a daughter card and disables the on-board Intel graphics card; dual-head would be nice

The Only Consumer "No Moving Parts" x86 PC on Earth

I can't believe some of the "expert" technology people who are complaining because they bricked it with a bootleg bios, fail to recognize is the only consumer device you can buy that has no internal fan or other moving parts unless you're willing to...

I bought this bundled with 4 GB 1333 MHz memory, Crucial Force 60 GB SSD for $270, all in. It has no moving parts. Absolutely silent. The build quality is outstanding – all metal inside and out except for the front trim piece. Both RAM and SSD just...

The only con is that it took so long for this to drop down to $170. Prop in a SATA III (for new upgraded reliability – this only has SATA II connectors.) You know the size of a medium length hardcover novel? That is how big this is. I guess my only...

So far, so good...

Installed WinXP Pro w/SP3 in a breeze, No freezes or BSoD, no problems at all. I'm building this one to replace the one I built for my mom in 2002 (which is still running fine, BTW - just time to downsize the parts and get better style) and I wanted to...

Silent as death, very compact, doesn't get very hot, easy to take apart and install components, low power consumption, well-ventilated. Streamed Netflix through it to my 60" Sony it played at 1080p beautifully via a Clearwire USB WIFI device. I was...

Silent as death (LOL - I can hear myself breathe), no HDMI, power button pushes in harder than it should, HDD activity light is very bright and blinks too much, no USB 3.0. If you don't install an internal CD drive or second HDD, the unit is slightly...

Practically flawless

It supports 2GB memory, which is plenty for me, but with the BIOS update it is allegedly possible to use 4GB.

It is my desktop machine. I installed SSD into it, rendering it completely silent (leading to a discovery of various near-silent noises made by other equipment in the room). With Ubuntu and fluxbox it is superfast for webbrowsing/text editing/film...

The Ethernet port does not "click". That means that a smallest pull on the the Ethernet cable disconnects the Internet. But it happens only seldom. Similar problem with the VGA port: no thread for the screws to secure it in place

Works Great as a lightweight Linux server

I am thinking about using another of these boxes to run as a MythTV frontend. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I bought this unit to install as a Linux server. It has functioned flawlessly for about a year now, running nightly backups of the local network and syncing that data to a remote server. The quite design makes it nice for a home office environment

The network card does not play nice out of the box when installing Ubuntu. I would guess this is the case with other Linux distros as well. I used a USB network adapter for the first install so that I could add the appropriate software for the...

Perfect Silent HTPC, But Too Slow For Daily Use

I bought this thinking that I'd use it as a daily general-purpose web/word processing machine, and it turned out to be too slow for my needs. It would make an amazing HTPC as it is completely silent (no fans of any kind, only moving part is the DVD...

Snazzy Computer

I have a small roll-top desk with limited desk space and I had a large workstation and it was always in the way; on the floor, getting kicked and all the things you shouldn't do to your primary workstation in your house. I saw this on Amazon, did some...

Pretty cool

This Shuttle is a pretty sweet little machine and, as other reviewers have mentioned, it is absolutely silent. I'm currently using it as a personal webserver that I can leave on 24/7 and not worry about noise or energy consumption.

Great buy

Loaded with Ubuntu, it's lean and fast. Not a media powerhouse, but with Chromium browser it's an excellent internet box. Can't beat the price

Great little system

I read a couple reviews here and seems that others are having issue with the wifi. Easy setup and the bios is very generic. Wifi can be enable or disable in bios and works very well. Haven't seen any issue yet. Running the box for a magic jack voip...

Low cost and reasonable price
