Shuttle SS50 Mini-system

Posted by michael on from the is-it-bigger-than-a-breadbox dept.

Jared writes: "Small Form Factor is taking off, Viahardware wrote a review on the new Shuttle SS PC. In a case about the size of a shoebox, you get Pentium 4 support, DDR memory, firewire, tv out etc. Great box for all kinds of uses like a media box for the living room, file server, gateway, LAN box. Slashdot posted about the SV24 last fall, and this is the follow up product. Very cool." We've looked at some other Shuttle systems before.

    . . . that's pretty cool, but still, give me a huge freaking tower any day. I don't mind carting aroud a behemoth of a case so long as I've got enough room to live in there if need be. :)

      It's not really a huge freaking tower unless it's at least six feet tall. My all-time favorite workstation is the SGI Onyx 2 rack*. Six feet tall, bright purple, noisy as can be. The Onyx 3000 systems are okay, but there's just something inherently cool about the Onyx 2. It's what the French call, "I don't know what."

      And the shipping crate is big enough for two people to stand up in. Well, for me anyway. I'm about 5'6".

      * Scroll down a bit to find Onyx 2 pics. I didn't think anybody would appreciate it if I linked directly to an 11 MB TIFF.

    Laptops have been around forever, and since I have yet to open one up, it's a mystery to me how they keep them so cool!

    Well, the general consensus is that if you use shiny or transluscent materials, and maybe slap an "i" or "e" on the front of the product's name it becomes cool.

    Now you know.
