My next rig

This thing has:

Front LCD display
P-4 mobo (<!--StartFragment -->Intel?s i865 core logic)
2 Firewire ports (1 front, 1 rear)
5 USB 2.0 ports (1 front, four rear)
only 1 PCI slot (oh well, can't have everything)
even has an AGP slot
2 DIMM slots
Switching power supply (100-240 V)

Not much for a big rig, but if you're looking for a "portable" gamming rig, this is teh bomb. It's just a little bigger than your toasta.
 
Why would anyone buy that. Can probably get something cheaper from dell or make your own. I wouldn't call it an iMac killer.

Dude... you can't. It has a built in LCD, granted that this is a barebone box, I think it's priced for ~ $160. I think all I need to put in here is a P-4 processer(pick your medicine), two sticks of 512 MB mem, a kick ass video card, a DVD/CD-R, a large HDD, and a card reader (in lieu of a 3.5" floppy drive) and I would have a system that would kick the living crap out of any iMac. Best of all, this would come in very handy for LAN parties, I think they're comming out with a case that has a handle built in also. It's as big as a boom box dude.
 
They someone would just sell cases like those with the LCD and everything. I'd like to build one from scratch. But I'd need the right motherboard form factor too.

Do the lights go out when you power up that system? Seriously.
 
I think the new SB61G2 shuttle looks better, and i never trust a company's first product in a new category.
Is it me or does it look a little too plasticy?

I actually got my hands on this thing today (a prototype). The front facia is much like anything else that comes from the far east nowaday (much like your hubs, phones). The frame is aluminum actually, so it's sturdy. Thumbscrews are almost everywhere that you would need to install a device. Very innovative HDD bay and the cooling fan assembly is awesome. The photos in the article doesn't really do it justice, the unit is much more aesthetically pleasing than it seems. And it's LIGHT, of course, the one that I held was also a barebone box, no peripherals, but I couldn't imaging it weights more than that. The LCD serves more than just a clock, it works much like your stereo display, but that's not what I'm impressed by. It's the efficiency of space saving design that integrate seemlessly with the cooling system that got me.
