Shuttle XPC Glamor Series SN68PTG5

Good, Quiet and able to keep my CPU very cool. Black sleek look, some nice hidden compartments. Easy to take apart almost tool less till you get inside to take the hdd, cdrom tray out. Easy to reach in and install all components. Came with Screws,...

This build is not for a novice player, and requires a little patience to get around with the drivers if installing Vista 64 bit version. The CD's provided does not come with any support for it what so ever. You need to get the CHIPSET download directly...

great computer for hdpc

make sure you update your drivers to latest from web. dont even install drivers from cd. Make sure you max out the video mem settings in bios to 512. you will then get great playback in hd 1080p otherwise it will studder.

I bought this barebone for HD playback for my new TV (1080p, 46').

It was around $200 after $80 of rebate, however, what happened? The price for this barebone has been increased to $280.

Small Quiet Runs very nice with 2GB RAM (Ubuntu 8.04)

Front memory slot does not work!?

Ubuntu installed totally clean. I added my own video card, and am doing dual monitors with TwinView just fine. Very fast, stable, easy to get running.

Had to find network drivers on the included disk for Vista. The cosmetic plate and button mechanism for the CDROM doesn't work too great.

Installation was easy even with the small case. Drivers were simple to find on Shuttle.com, HDMI video and Audio works flawlessly with my setup

I am on my second box, the first case ; only one stick of RAM in Slot 1 would work. Anything in slot 2 the computer wouldn't post. Got the second box and the same thing. The RAM has been tested and passed on another computer. This is a shuttle...

Very small considering how much it can do. Have not found any problems with the system. Comes apart very well to install the Hard Drivers and DVD drive. Stays cool and quiet as well.

None!

Cool, quiet, excellent build quality, inexpensive (with AMD procs), lots of features

Limited expandability, questionable long-term reliability

Great barebones kit, small form factor, worked great for what I needed.

None

small.

could not get any stability with vista ultimate 64 installed
