Shuttle XPC SA76G2 - SFF - RAM 0 MB - no HDD - Radeon 3000 - Gigabit Ethernet - Monitor : none

As usually a very well built machine from Shuttle ; gets good windows 7 score on built in hd3000 ; just .2 less for both aero and gaming over a hd4200 system

no hdmi but a hd3450 hybrid card would really sweeten things. The one con and its a biggy is,,,no bios options to overclockAT ALL..PERIOD NADA ,EVEN WITH A BLACK EDITION CPU ,YOU CANT CHANGE MULTIS IN BIOS

energy efficient, fast booting, light weight with nice thumbscrews on the back and all the ports on the front. enjoys nice ACPI support

there is a ~90 watt physical limitation for the processor on this model, and many other shuttle models. obviously not a box for hardcore gamers and such, but within the limitation the box runs fast. dont expect to sneak a big video card in here, as...

Small Case, works very well while it works. Bought about 15 of these ( this one and the versions just before this model)

At Random the power supply or the motherboard will decide to die. Shuttle has a 1 year warranty of these, and of course the problems will usually occur after the 1 year is up. The replacement parts are rather expensive to order from Shuttle, and rare...

Small size, case is very easy to work on and inexpensive, supports up to 8gb DDR2 RAM, 6 USB ports. Windows User Experience ratings: CPU 6.3 with AMD Phenom II X2 550, Memory 5.9 with 4gb DDR2 800 PC6400 Crucial memory, Aero graphics 3.3, Gaming...

Aero Graphics could be better. Don't care because I plan to use Linux Mint 9 instead of Windows. Power supply only 250w. Power supply fan much louder than I expected. May have to pay $80 to upgrade to quieter PC-60 300w power supply. I reduced my...

Small ; Not loud (not really quiet either) ; very well made ; very well laid out

I'd like these machines to be quieter. There are two fans in the machine. A case/cpu fan and a PSU fan. Both should be quieter but they're fine for office applications. I wouldn't use these for media centers ; Not so much a con as a consequence of the...

I've never seen a case so easy to open and take apart with only a phillips screwdriver. It was very easy to install the CPU and memory. Integrated ICE Cooling Engine works much better than I expected. It was easy to take out, but kind of tricky putting...

Only DDR2 memory, not DDR3. It was a bit tricky getting the ICE cooling engine screws started whey I reinstalled it. Onboard Raedon 3000 GPU seems to get kind of hot. It has a good heat sink, but I might install an extra fan for it. Only 2 SATA power...

Well thought out component placement. Small "footprint" on the desk and looks really cool, unlike those standard towers or desktops. Windows 7 compatibility

1. This is probably true of all Shuttle cases... The PCI Express slot, is very close to the cover, so no graphics card wider than the slot itself will fit. A good solution would have been to switch the two slots around, so you could plug in the video...

Small size. Both a PCI and PCIE slot for expansion. Built in LAN/USB/PS2/stereo audio/GPU with VGA & DVI connections

Specialized front panel connector. Custom heat pipe cpu cooler

I have been building computers for almost 20 years and when I needed a new box for my media center I went with the Shuttle. Best decision I ever made. I read the reviews and knew what parts I needed and had it up and running in 30 minutes and with...

Maybe include a converter to give you the 3rd SATA power connection

Easy installation process. The built-in cooler is efficient. Light as well as durable. Overall a great barebone for making a home theater PC

None really, but only supports single cooler graphic cards. Which is fine. This isn't a gaming barebone
