The Chameleon is a product unique not only in Scan's approach to its conception, development and prototyping (they're a new company to creating boutique PCs like this after all), but ...

SurroundView in such a powerful, small space is what really sells this Shuttle XPC to me. If that appeals to you, go forth and purchase. After the disappointment of the ...

A very puzzling offering from the Taiwanese SFF giant and one I recommend you stay well away from. There are much better, and highly desirable, Pentium 4-based XPCs elsewhere in ...

MV\'s component choice and reasonable asking price makes the GamePro an attractive proposition for the consumer that wants both substance and style in one beautiful package. Just add in a ...

Dell is both large enough and savvy enough to engineer and market the best gaming system around. This Dimension XPS Gen-4, however, is overpriced and, from a package's point of ...

The review model's performance was good. An AMD Athlon 64 4000+ CPU is the second-fastest S939 CPU, so gaming, allied to a GeForce 6800 GT PCI-Express card, will be inevitably ...

It's not as cheap as Shuttle's SB77G5 XPC but for the extra £50 it'll take to snag a KLOSS, you get more than £50 worth of extra value in this ...

EPIA-SP gives Tranquil\'s MCE2005 product in the T2 chassis the performance boost that it needed, to remove some of the sticking points we found in operation. The chassis\' evolution gives ...

Overall, a fine product, somewhat soiled by the CPUs you\'d really like to use it with for maximum gaming performance.
18 January 2005, 00:00
It\'s a beautifully integrated device with some problems that stop me from recommending it outright. Tranquil are working on things though, and as a company in the market as it ...

As the popularity of the \'media centre\' grows, what we have here is a perfect system for anyone requiring basic movie and music playback without using a behemoth of a ...

We've seen impressive 3XS hardware from Scan in the past and their Cobra SLI systems don't buck that trend. Incredibly well built, paint jobs to put others to shame and ...
30 September 2004, 00:00
Very highly recommended if you need Socket 939 in a small form factor enclosure and you can afford the asking price. Pester your favourite retailer for a price drop and ...

We\'ve yet to see a perfect SFF system. AOpen does a lot of things right with the EZ18 - it also does a few things, subjectively speaking, wrong. Worth a ...

After we broke those spy shots back in May, a lot of people asked me whether I thought the ZMAXdp would ever get released. It's one thing to work on ...

What it all boils down to, really, is if its very select attributes appeal to you. If they do, you'll wonder why nothing like this ever came along before. Cost ...

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 ...

It\'s a tidy, polished implementation of a well trodden concept, with the odd rough edge here and there. But nobody else does a Pentium 4 SFF box quite like Shuttle, ...

Shuttle, it seems, plans to dominate the lucrative SFF market by using a strategy of offering the consumer a cube based on every available chipset. Two newer cubes, reviewed today, ...

There's more than one method of building of high-performance system. Scan has shown us that. Going down the enthusiasts' route of overclocking the CPU and motherboard has paid dividends for ...
8 February 2004, 00:00
There's enough here to make the eX5-300S Mini Me SFF system sell on pure merit. We can just see enthusiasts using the highly overclockable Northwood Pentium 4 200MHz CPUs and ...

Multi-use setups like the Axis will always appeal. It's for that reason, it's multi-talented abilities as a games machine, simple video capture and editing box and multimedia TV hub, that ...

The defining role of any small form-factor system is to thoroughly question the need for a standard beige box. There\'s not much it can\'t do, and it does cause us ...
20 December 2003, 00:00
This summary may sound like a flow of praise. If it does, it's because both systems deserve it. £1500 goes a hell of a long way right now. Both MESH ...

Sheer performance isn\'t great with a discrete AGP card. However, the combination of the factors listed above raise it from being a poor system to one that has merit. This ...

Performance and stability were both good. Noise is another subjective issue. ABIT helps the user counter it by supplying an excellent BIOS. The hardware monitoring section allows for some fan-speed ...
26 November 2003, 00:00
In summary, excellent performance that could easily be even better, a meagre software bundle but excellent monitor and speaker system to balance it out. Good features mean you get some ...
20 November 2003, 00:00
Perhaps we\'re being critical here but the XPC line doesn\'t seem to have evolved greatly over the past 18 months. We want it all, all without compromise. That entails Wi-Fi ...
17 November 2003, 00:00
The iDEQ 200T is pretty good, especially if this is your first foray into the SFF world. It's by far the easiest to work with. Performance is adequate, even if ...
4 November 2003, 00:00
In summary, the Shuttle SB65G2 is an effortlessly competent barebones unit that\'ll appeal to many potential buyers on the basis of performance, portability, features, stability and overclocking potential. It\'s not ...

A decent SFF barebones outfit should question the need for larger desktop or midi-tower boxes, especially for the non-power user. The Soltek does exactly that. Overall, however, the Soltek EQ3702 ...
22 October 2003, 00:00
We\'re trying to pick small faults with what is an excellent addition to the XPC range. Its attractiveness stems from the use of AMD\'s new Athlon 64 Clawhammer CPU. It ...
