Shuttle's nForce4 SFF

Shuttle also had a nForce4 SFF on display, while the externals are similar to current generation Shuttle XPCs the internals are what make Shuttle's latest interesting.

The XPC has two PCIe slots, a x16 slot and a x1 slot. A future version of the XPC will feature two x16 slots for use in SLI configurations, impressive for a SFF.

Due to popular demand Shuttle also incorporated a VIA Envy24 audio controller in their nForce4 SFF to address concerns about audio quality.

    Me like the Shuttle set-top...

    Now, can we just get more ordinary P-M boards?

    "we had a 46" samsung and gave it right back, viewing from the side looks dark"



    Do you know anything about plasma vs DLP?

    DLP's only life problem is you'll have to buy a new bulb.

    plasma's problem is that it will continue to go darker and darker until the gas runs out of energy.

    You don't like the dark of dlp you aint gonna like the dark of plasma.

    #############################################

    Plasma - can't change the gas- no refills - no recharging. Continue to get darker picture.

    Dlp - change a bulb.



    Plasma - spend lots of money know and throw away soon.


    Today, I can get a 76" dlp for $1400 with <2cm display thickness.

    "The Radeon X800 will be available in the first week of February"
    That's odd. What's this, then?

    Thanks for that link :D. I thought those MGE cases looked great as well and made me interested in what they have been making lately.

    Was the second image on the very last page messed up for anyone else? I could only see the top 10% of the image and the rest was blacked out. The image is supposed to show the MGE cases. The text just above the image is...

    "MGE also demonstrated a more sleek lineup of cases, a welcome change from the overly busy gaming cases that we've seen far too much of lately:"

    "The entire Sound Storm division at NVIDIA has been shut down and thus NVIDIA's Intel solution will have HD Audio support, but we will not see the return of Dolby Digital Encoding support or NVIDIA's Sound Storm DSP."

    I don't believe this for a second. Can someone please confirm or deny this claim? Thanks!
