  1. I chose XM on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 1
    I got XM in December of last year before driving cross country. At that time, Sirius wasn't up yet. Reception was perfect all the way from Houston to LA. Reception only fades when line of sight to the satellite is blocked (tunnel, tall building, hills, etc.) and there are no local repeaters.

    One big difference for me is that XM has CNET Radio and Sirius does not. That said, Sirius has some channels that I wish XM had (NPR, PRI). Also, it's great to have 24/7 Bluegrass.

  2. Not as nice looking but.... on Shuttle SS50 Mini-system · · Score: 2, Informative
    The SS40 is great looking but still lacks some important features (DVI, AGP slot).

    The FIC Samba SFF P4 kit includes DVI support, an AGP slot, 2 PCMCIA slots and SPDIF audio out.

    Have a look.
