     It has been several years since we reviewed Shuttle's very first small form factor PC and much has changed since those days. For example, small form factor PCs are no longer JUST for office use. Today's SFF PCs like the XPC SN25P is an incredibly strong system that delivers everything your big tower does, even high end gaming. Yes, I said high end gaming! Taking advantage of the fast AMD Athlon 64 Socket-939 CPU and PCI-E graphics, this baby is every bit as fast as it's full tower brother. Let's take a look at Shuttle's new SN25P and see what makes it tic.
