lostcircuits.com: Shuttle SS50 Mini Barebones
Quote, "After the successful launch of the SV24 "Toaster" mini BareBones system, Shuttle is vamping up the gallery of retro-looking dwarf systems. The first high-end solution based on the SIS 650 chipset is the SS50, suitable to host any of the current P4 478 pin processors, soon to be followed by the SS40 that will provide the counterpart for the AMD platform. Combining an extremely small footprint with a powerful CPU and an extremely rich set of features such as 5.1 Dolby surround sound, integrated network and firewire puts the SS50 on par with much bigger and expensive systems. Very good overclocking capabilities in spite of the lack of voltage adjustments add some additional attraction to the miniature cube. In terms of performance, the only weakness is the limited capability of the integrated real256 graphics chip. Some other minor flaws like a relatively noisy power supply fan and search lights instead of status LEDs could use some detail massages."

lanaddict.com: Xoxide C-6 Black Hawk Pre-Modified Case Review
Quote, “When I ripped open the box of the C-6 Black Hawk, I was immediately impressed by its shiny black finish and smooth curves. Most will agree that it sure is pretty. But does the inside match the outside? You bet it does. This is a performance modified case that lives up to its namesake. Let’s start with the outside. The overall appearance of the case is sleek, with no rough corners or edges. The finish is a nice gloss black color. The metal side panels and top resists scratches and fingerprints better then most cases I’ve seen. The front bezel plate is made of black plastic. There is a strip of chrome around the centralized drive bays and control switch panel.”
