Review Summary: Our test unit came with Windows XP Media Center Edition preinstalled, though without the TV tuner that would make it an extremely space-saving PC/TV/TiVo replacement; Shuttle sells a Hauppauge USB external tuner for $95 and a Philips remote control for $3

Review Summary: The lines between a console and a full fledged system are blurring with the powerful processors of the next generation consoles. Shuttle took a different approach, by shrinking its PC-based SFF to the dimensions of a console. Here's what we thought of the
