• Socket-775 Cubed : AOpen’s XC Cube EX915 SFF Barebones   [Review, GamePC]
  The XC Cube (EX915) features technologies such as PCI Express X16, Serial ATA/150, Gigabit LAN, Digital Audio, and support for the fastest Pentium 4 processors on the market today. The whole package is wrapped up in an aluminum alloy chassis, and combined with a thermally controlled copper heatpipe CPU cooler, makes for one of the quietest small form factor systems we've ever used.

• Shuttle XPC SB81P review   [Review, Hexus]
  It's unappealing with the GMA900 on-board video, so wait for PCI Express graphics cards to appear, pick your CPU and GPU poison, then definitely consider the SB81P as the host platform for those choices. Because if you can stomach LGA775 and PEG16X, it's good. Very very good.

• Shuttle XPC SB81P SFF System   [Review, Overclockercafe]
  Shuttle has always been on the leading edge of SFF PC's and once again they lead the way with their XPC SB81P. The XPC SB81P is based around two recent releases from Intel, the 915G chipset and the LGA775 CPU. Being the first SFF on the market with these new technologies, Shuttles shows us that they are ready to rumble in the jungle, so let's get cracking and take a look at those specs.

• AOpen XCCube EZ18 nForce2 SFF System   [Review, Bjorn3d]  
  When it comes to AOpen's XCCube EZ18, style is the first thing that strikes me as making it unique from the countless SFF choices available today. With its white exterior and silver accents, it has a very stylish and sleek look that makes a fashion statement (and it better considering that AOpen's marketing concept with it is 'Living Art'). Keep reading to find out if the 'compact, cute, cozy' EZ18 has the features and performance to match its great looks.

• Shuttle XPC SB61G2 v3.0   [Review, Hexus]  
  Their main excuse this time around for the SB61G2 v3.0, the next SB61G2 in line after the v1.0 and the RefleXion 20th anniversary version with RAID, WiFi and other goodies, is a new revision of the FB61 motherboard that powers them.

• Shuttle SN85G4V2 XPC Review – Quiet And Cool!   [Review, SFFTech]  
  Late last year, in symphony with AMD’s release of the Athlon 64, Shuttle produced the industry’s first AMD 64-bit capable SFF, the SN85G4. Now, less than a year later, they have started shipping the 2nd generation of this system, the SN85G4V2 (version 2). It’s still the same great system, with a few extra bells and whistles, engineering modifications, and other enhancements, all designed to make the system run a bit cooler, quieter, and overall more efficient.

• ABIT DiGiDice Small Form Factor System Mega-Review   [Review, Rojakpot]  
  The launch of DiGiDice marks yet another bold move by ABIT towards a wider market in the rather competitive industry of selling motherboards. Shuttle have long been popular with their XPC Small Form Factor (SFF) platform. And with yet another competitor, MSI, also jumping onto the SFF bandwagon with their MEGA series, ABIT just could not just sit back and rely on their motherboard sales, even if it's very popular amongst PC hardware enthusiasts.

• MSI Mega 865 SFF PC   [Review, LegionHardware]  
  Over the last year small form factor computers have flourished. Users have been captivated by their compact size. SFF computers have developed considerably during this year, from systems that were limited to word processing, to the fully capable set top entertainment systems of today. Before we had customized small form factor computers, Micro-ATX was the next best thing to having a small desktop PC. However, Micro-ATX based computers were never as successful for various reasons. What made SFF based computers so successful was the cooperation between motherboard manufacturers and case makers. For example, Shuttle delivered extremely small SFF systems because they designed a custom motherboard to suit a very small custom case, creating a new specification. Even the power supply unit was customized to suit these very small systems.

• Shuttle SB75S XPC SFF System   [Review, LostCircuits]  
  Take an extablished concept, hand it over to a top designer and use only the best components and what you get is a jewel in the cracker-jack box of common hardware. The concept in this case is the XPC, the design and manufacturing part is done by Soldan (Japan), the paint job uses the ultra-expensive mother-of pearl automotive enamel and the result is Shuttle's latest Limited Edition dubbed the SB75S.

• Shuttle XPC SN85G4: a barebone system for Athlon 64   [Review, Digit-Life]  
  We have recently tested a new Shuttle XPC — the SN85G4 model. Don't rush to say there can be nothing new and interesting about Shuttle. First, the model was made for Athlon 64 CPUs, and it was announced at the same time with the line of 64-bit AMD desktop CPUs. Second, SN85G4 has a new case. We will certainly dwell on it in details, as the market prepares for a whole line of the company's barebones ending in G4.

• Biostar iDEQ 200T   [Review, 2cpu]  
  After building more than half-a-dozen different SFF boxes in the past few months for family and friends, I consider myself a bit of an authority on the subject. My brother is a gadget nut though, and he had some special requirements for audio inputs and outputs to accommodate some of his music playing/recording/whatever toys. The search for a barebones box that had all the right connectors eventually led us to the Biostar iDEQ 200T that I'll be dissecting today.

• MSI Mega180 SFF PC   [Review, Tbreak]  
  MSI has been a tad bit slow in releasing their Small Form Factor based PCs. Their first MegaPC took quite a while to hit the market although MSI did provide something very unique by combining Hi-Fi options. It’s been almost nine months now and today we take a look at their second generation offering- the MegaPC 180 based on the nForce2 chipset. Lets find out if this was time spent well by making a good unit even better.

• EPoX eX5-300S Mini Me SFF System   [Review, Hexus]  
  First things first, why does EPoX love using upper and lower case letters for the company name and products?. That beats us. That aside, EPoX is trying a few new ventures right now, because diversification is the key to survival. EPoX has traditionally focussed on motherboards for Intel and AMD CPUs. It's gained quite a cult following by providing excellent voltage regulation, plenty of overclocking features, and decent pricing. As an enthusiast making a choice for either a Socket-754/478/462 board, EPoX's efforts need to be considered at the very least.

  Nimble Microsystems, Inc. is a relatively young company, founded in Boston, Massachusetts in June 1999. According to their website, “the company focuses on both RISC and SISC based technology and delivers enabling technology for the Post-PC era.” But how does that lead us to a product such as the Nimble V5?

• Shuttle SB75G2 XPC SFF System   [Review, 2cpu]  
  The Small Form Factor (SFF) PC has transitioned from being somewhat of a novelty in its early days to a viable replacement for your regular, full-size desktop. Manufacturers have added the features that geeks require in their machines, most notably the AGP Slot. The cooling systems have also advanced to handle the faster processors available from both AMD and Intel while keeping overall noise output to a minimum.

• ABIT AB-2003 DigiDice SFF System   [Review, Hexus]  
  ABIT wants in on the SFF (Small Form Factor) market. It seems to be a perfectly thought out business plan. ABIT manufactures a whole host of motherboards that are usually recognised via the hallmarks of expert tweakability, stability and, lately, rather good presentation. ABIT also knows how to make a fast motherboard. It's been doing that for years and years.

• Biostar IDEQ 200P Athlon64 SFF System   [Review, LostCircuits]  
  SMALL FORM FACTOR systems are the latest buzz and we are just beginning to see the ramifications of the market. A relative newcomer in this particular genre is Biostar with their series of IDEQ mini barebones systems. Optical differentiation is the magic word for brand recognition and Biostar is going the way of Henry Ford, meaning that any color is ok as long as it is black. Color is one distinguishing feature, a more distinctive characteristic is the sliding cover of the front panel inspired by Monsieur Guillot but -- without the sharp edges.

• Shuttle ST61G4 XPC SFF System   [Review, Hexus]  
  What's needed is an nForce2-like implementation, that is, decent overall speed and a semi-powerful integrated GPU. Shuttle's dilemma was solved by turning to the masters of discrete consumer-level graphics cards. If NVIDIA can do it, ATI can too, or so says the Canadian giant. That's right. A Shuttle XPC with none other than an ATI chipset and integrated graphics as the backbone. Let's see if the Radeon 9100 IGP-powered Shuttle ST61G4 XPC is as good as it potentially sounds.
