Strengths: Quiet system, small, easy to assemble. 6 USB ports (2 front, 4 back). Stylish, all-aluminum case.

Shuttle continues to make the best...
Strengths: Thoughtful design and great aesthetics, 8X AGP video port, integrated USB2.0, Firewire 400, six channel audio, native SATA support, quiet power supply.
Weakness: Only one PCI expansion slot.
Shuttle continues to make the best small form factor boxes around. This is my first shuttle box, and I would highly recommend it. The full set of integrated ports points toward a very thoughtful design. Shuttle's attention to detail is evident in the convenient clips to route your cables for optimal air flow. If you're looking for a mini barebone system, look no further.
