Biostar IDEQ SFF compared to Shuttle SFF?

[robisc]

Apparently the new Biostar IDEQ 200N was supposed to be released this week, anyone here know anything about pricing and availability of this box? Newegg or Mwave has nothing on them, I was about ready to buy and put together a SFF box and was ready to jump on a Shuttle until I ran across an early review on this machine at Sudhian.com, it looks really promising and I think I will hold out, I just hope it comes out soon.

FWIW Newegg has these PCs now, not a lot of interest on here as far as SFF PCs I guess, nevertheless, for anyone that may be interested here is the link.

abc, out of curiosity what are you going to do with it, multimedia machine or what? I would like to hear how some folks owning these SFFs are configuring them. My intent is to use one as an entertainment PC right next to the TV
