This sounds really promising. Great for server type applications or for closed office environments. It's easy enough to plug in an external USB optical drive (which I already have) should the need arise. I might pick one up for XAMPP. For use as a regular PC, though, the lack of an optical drive is likely a problem. The design would have been great for an HTPC even without an optical drive (I rip all my DVDs to HDD, anyway), but not having a PCI Express x16 slot killed that part.
Shuttle KPC Barebone: $100
Intel Celeron 420: $45
1GB (1x1GB or 2x512MB): $25
Western Digital WD5000AACS 500GB: $100
Total: $270
I'd say that's a pretty decent price for a low power sff server. It would be nice if Shuttle would also make the OS available for download for those who buy just the barebones.
I like the white case with coffee... I wonder if the Shuttle KPC makes coffee, too...
