Shuttle's Tiny PC Reviewed

PhantomHarlock writes "VIAHardware posted a review of a great miniature PC desktop system from Shuttle, the motherboard manufacturer. It's a tiny aluminum case with a floppy bay and one 5 1/4 bay. It uses Shuttle's FV24 mobo, one of the smallest on the market. The motherboard has built in video (with S-Video out), audio, 10/100 Ethernet, USB and dual firewire ports. " Might be a nifty device to use as a stereo component with that S-Video out.

  1. editor anyone? by tdye · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is it just me, or has VIAHardware fired all the editors and disabled grammar/spell checking on their word processors?

    "...opening up the case for maintenance is much simpler and don't require the use of tools."

    "Let's take a peak inside..."

    And my favorite on page one (I didn't bother with page two):

    "Due to the small size of the case, everything inside is cramped in, thus making it impossible to install better cooling, this isn't exactly a negative point, since it is an OEM barebones system, and the lesser the cooling components, the quieter the system runs. "

    It's hard to take a review seriously when the writer sounds suspiciously like he's failing 9th grade English.
