That linked article says it only has one SATA power connector. What's the point of having two SATA ports and drive bays with only one power connector? |

You really think setting up OSX on an Intel box is easier and more supportable for the average user? I don't agree. It's an interesting exercise for geeks like us, but it's not for the masses. And I won't even mention that it's not legal.  |

Seems like it only comes with SATA cable, screws, and manuals. Yep no ICE cooling system so need to get a fan... Also didn't include thermal compound either unlike the other Shuttle I got from Fry's 10 days ago. But that Shuttle was $100 AR and had to pay tax for $200. And it only has 1 PCI slot - no PCI-e slot like the other Shuttle I got. |

Seems like it only comes with SATA cable, screws, and manuals. It has both IDE and SATA; I used an IDE to CF adapter for a 16GB CF card in place of a hard drive. |
