Start with this!

These small-form-factor units are interesting, but there's a lot of complaining about
heat. Still - at that price I'm beginning to lean...
(Prolly have to run it with the case open and a coupla USB fans pointing in.)

I started with the K45, no optical drive, and a 16 MB CF drive on the IDE bus instead of a HDD - $79 at Frys. Installed Debian Linux, connected to a VGA to HDMI adapter from Monoprice and have a nice little box for web browsing as an HTPC. Keeping it simple minimizes power consumption and heat issues.

Website says they are sold out. Oh well.

Green not because it was a good deal which it is. Green for you for having a nice ass. I don't know but I believe you. Badonkadonk rules!

it's back in stock!

An anecdotal FYI: I bought one of these when they first came out 2-3 years back. It's been on almost continuously since then, and and it has been a real workhorse for me. I first used it for gaming and professional stuff, now as a media center/file server. If you can find it, and need a cheap, reliable machine, my experience tells me it's a good machine.

I'm pretty sure all Shuttles come with Shuttle's "ICE" cooling system.
