I love my Shuttle. Now what?

[fragstar]

What to do? I just bought a Shuttle SB75G2 on wednesday. Setup it up on thursdays with Mandrake Linux 9.2 as the operating system, played America's Army all weekend. I I haven't had a problem yet.


I was after something small, powerful and cool. Shuttle fitted that bill. After reading serveral threads about Shuttle's I took the plunge a secured the bet looking and highest performing Shuttle I could. Expecting a few hitches, imagine my surprise when the system ran four days without a break, without crashing, and always looking cool.

Get a Shuttle.

Now

I rather purchase something less expensive, the shuttles are too overpriced but can't blame them they are the market leaders in their class.
However for the money I rather spend it on another comparable competitor's minipc;especially when there's over a $100 in price difference.

Nxh,

There is no comparable competitors system. Just hunks of junk.
For $350 I purchased the highest performing SFF computer on the market. This is a fraction more than those competitors are charging for hunks of junk based on an already out of date Sis or Via chipsets.

I agree, shuttles have much better build quality than the competitors, most definitely worth the money.

The Soltek 3401M has high ratings from many online review sites and also its using the lastest chipset from intel 865g. For $249 this cost $100 less. Cant beat that plus it looks better.

I read a review of the Solteck last month in Atomic MPC.

Quote "built worse than a backyard sh*thouse". The article ripped the sh*t out of Soltek for shoddy design and construction, claiming it was the worst SFF that they had seen.

Q, how do you fry a CPU?
A. Use a soltek.

What to do?

Overclock it until you get some problems.
Then start searching forums for the answer and spend a fortune upgrading each component
in search of a few Mhz more or a few dB less.
What else?
