KLOSS KL-I915A - SFF With An Edge
Kez writes "Shuttle have been synonymous with SFF for a long time now. It would take a lot to make them topple from the top spot, but that doesn't stop companies from trying. Take TriGem, with their new KLOSS KL-I915A system. The interior of the chassis is cleverly partitioned to aid cooling and installation. It has a front display which shows everything from CPU speed to which particular device failed the BIOS power-on self test (which beats a sequence of beeps or LEDs any day.) Add to that an LGA 775 motherboard, and TriGem just might be on to a winner. HEXUS.net have a review."
Based on what I already know about the Shuttle brand, I'm taking a wild guess that "SFF" stands for small form factor. I go RTFA, and the first sentence confirms my suspicion: "The small-form-factor PC market feels like it's in a comfort zone."
Except it does have one 16x PCI-express slot, you know, exactly what you need for all the new video cards out there. I know some people need all 8 expansion slots of a full sized ATX machine, but with Firewire and USB 2.0 on these small machines, they are very capable and take up much less desk space.
