A closer look at the XPC...

     There is more to the SN45G XPC than meets the eye. Internally, it is even more complex than Shuttle's previous small form factor platforms. Sure, it may look like an ordinary box, but this is very powerful computer stuffed into a very small box. This baby looks to have all the same kind of power that a high end gaming system has to offer, but in a box a fraction of the size.

     While I'm talking about the box, I'd like to point out the flawless quality of the enclosure itself. This enclosure has the same ultra high quality you will find in Lian Li cases. The front of the case even has a clear plastic face plate that really adds class. I hate to use this phrase again, but the XPC is truly a work of art...

     In the front of the case you will even find an extra set of media ports as well as USB 2.0. Man is this baby pretty!

     In the back you will find even more media ports including Firewire, SPDIF and LAN! Yes, Shuttle even made room for integrated LAN. You may notice there is two open card slots showing in the back. This is for your choice of AGP 8x graphics cards as well as a PCI slot for any other add on cards you may have. One extra PCI slot may not seem like much, but this system already has everything you need.
