Shuttle's AMD-powered XPC G5 6801M loves Blu-ray and HD DVD

While Shuttle's KPC most certainly wasn't aimed at the enthusiast in the crowd, its newest XPC definitely is. The XPC G5 6801M gets going with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, a 320GB hard drive, LG's GGC-H20L Blu-ray / HD DVD combo drive, ATI's 256MB HD 3450 graphics card, a DVB-T tuner, 25-in-1 multicard reader and 7.1-channel audio output. Moreover, you'll find gigabit Ethernet, FireWire, a slew of USB / eSATA ports, DVI / VGA out (DVI-HDMI adapter thrown in) and a bundled remote to make your life even easier. If you're digging where this is going, you can latch on to one of these boxes for €1,091 ($1,727), and if you've turned a cold shoulder to HD DVD, a BD-only unit can be had for €167 ($264) less.

Good that you can get cheaper version without the obsolete hd dvd crap...

FYI, you sound like a fanboy and a schmuck with after-the-fact comments like that. Please move on like most of us have.

NEVER BY A SHUTTLE. I BOUGHT ONE IN 2005 AND IT OVER HEATED OVER AND OVER. I FINALLY HAD TO BUY A FULL SIZED CASE AND TRANSFER ALL THE COMPONENTS OVER. WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!

@fred durst
Shuttles overheat only if you pretend to use them as gaming rigs or for other inapropriate pursuits.
This thing is meant to play media, browse the www, download video & audio, and enjoy your collections of pics, vids, sounds and assorted bullshees, if you need to create the special effects for the next pixar blockbuster then yeah, get something more substantial.
BTW : no good to play crysis either.
