Small Form Factor Differences?
I see those small Barebone units vary in price from $140 to over $300. What's the main difference? The on board Video quality?

I like the Shuttle ones. All the new ones should have an AGP slot as a standard. Someone has one on this board...Pink?

I have the shuttle sn41g2 as a HTPC system has been on 24x7 for 3 months and never a issue with the hardware.
Has an AGP slot and an extra pci slot 2 minor complaints. 1: that dang blue LED light for the power on light. Way too bright when the room is totally dark the room had a blue cast to it. Black electric tape fixed that 2: fan is a bit loud but not too bad. Other than that its a good $ value, in a nice package. |

I was actually thinking about getting a shuttle based computer but upon reviewing the images online, I don't see anywhere to attach a security cable. I need to anchor this baby somehow so it doesn't walk(it will be in a public area at my work) so I need to anchor it. If it doesn't have it then I guess I will just have to get some mini-Dell.

Soltek has a unit with 2 5-1/4" bays. I am leaning toward that one.
