The full Shuttle's XPC SN27P2 Small Form Factor Systems review after this :
Speaking of new chips, the SN27P2 includes NVIDIA's nForce 570 Ultra core logic. The nForce 570 Ultra is based on the same basic technology as the nForce 590 SLI, although a few of that high-end chipset's features don't make the cut for the Ultra. SLI isn't supported, for example—not that it's needed in a small form factor system with only one PCI Express x16 slot. We managed to get it entirely stable by using a more conservative X1800 GT, though, and a high-end Nvidia 7900 GT was also stable under pressure.
As pieces of design, these machines are what we've come to expect from Shuttle - unfussy, well thought-through and with a very high level of attention to detail. With reasonable care, it's simple to build a great PC using either of these as a basis. With all of the cabling pre-routed, there isn't even any need to worry about keeping things tidy. Considering the sheer level of convenience they offer, and the high quality of what you're getting, the price tag isn't unreasonable.
