    thats a lot of moolah considering all it is is a boring spec comp with a 3450 :s even taking into account the shuttle premium for being sexy

    I was hoping for a link to the "40in full-HD model (1,920x1,080) can be purchased for £699 from a big-name manufacturer"...

    Re: Shuttle launches Blu-ray/HD DVD home theatre XPC

    I'm surprised these numpties haven't twigged an AMD 780G Shuttle would do all this.

    The KPC was launched at £99 (UK prices) and is Intel 945 based with integrated VGA. This would be better as an HTPC with the integrated HD3450 that the 780G chipset has and an AMD 45W CPU.

    Then again £99 vs £900... I wonder which gives SHuttle a bigger margin!????

    I'd love to see a study into how many people actually use a small form computer as a media machine for their TV.... Reckon it must be a small market.
