The XPC!
-
Whilst out kai-kai today, I saw a neat, compact little CPU called the XPC. It's sooo neat! Here's a write-up on it...
The XPC ST20G5: ATi™ RADEON™ XPRESS 200 goes small
Shuttle is the first vendor to offer an AMD Athlon™ 64-enhanced SFF with stunning integrated 3D graphics, DirectX 9™ and OpenGL™
Shuttle Inc, the leading designer and manufacturer of small form-factor (SFF) computers and accessories, today introduces the XPC ST20G5. Based on the ATi RADEON XPRESS 200 chipset, the first integrated graphics solution with DirectX 9 and OpenGL technology, this amazing SFF computer brings stunning graphics and wicked-fast Athlon 64-bit performance to the wanting mainstream market.
“The XPC ST20G5 builds on the design-strengths of the XPC platform,” said Jonathan Yi, vice president, product planning, Shuttle Inc. “With best-of-class integrated graphics our latest offering is a boon for mainstream, multimedia and office user’s looking for their first Athlon 64 platform PC.”
Built around ATi RADEON XPRESS core logic, the Shuttle XPC ST20G5 features Athlon 64-bit socket 939 CPU support, 1GHz HyperTransport™ enhanced system bus and dual-channel DDR 400 memory. With graphics powered by the RADEON XPRESS 200, this model comes with DVI and VGA outputs, great for dual display multitasking and presentation environments. User’s can push this box one step further by installing an x16 PCI-E graphics card for SurroundView™ triple-display support.
These performance-enhanced features are housed in ShuttleÂ’s elegant G5-series chassis, which incorporates beautifully engineered stealth drive bays with slick brush aluminum finish. Further, with the full palette of Silent X technologies; Silent X 240W PSU, Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) with 92mm fan and linear operation as well as intelligent airflow mechanics, the ST20G5 runs both quiet and cool.
Additional features of the ST20G5 include integrated Gigabit Ethernet, two FireWire® 400 ports, four external USB 2.0 ports, 8-channel audio with SPDIF digital I/O and Serial ATA with RAID (0, 1, JBOD) support. Also, with an industry-standard 32-bit PCI slot and space for one 5.25-inch and two 3.5-inch hard disk drives, Shuttle’s XPC ST20G5 provides unprecedented level of performance, integration and style.
This sleek device is only about 6" tall! Amazing! I'm sinning now - lusting for a powerful PC that can handle the graphics and memory demanded of the latest PC games.

No idea actually. I've been out of touch so long that I no longer understand what most specs mean.Originally posted by the Bear:how much and how well does it run against the Mac-Mini?

Pai seh! 
Daren't ask how much also because whatever it costs, I wouldn't be able to afford it anyways. Next time I see it again, I think I'll ask for its price.
BTW, saw the new Nintendo DS, that new two-screen portable game machine. Sinned by lusting again! -
