Anyone know anything Bad about these things?... Im thinking of Customizing a Animal Machine online from them. They look good so far, the reviews look good, prices aren't too bad.

the XPC shuttle's are so small... Just wondering if anyone knows anything i should know about before making the purchase

limited expandability options, and minimalistic PSU wattage. Some are cool though.

well if you customize a BEAST from SHuttle... and do not plan on adding anything else... There's nothing else wrong with the shuttle XPC that i don't know about is there?....

As far as there "work" goes, they build well built pc's?

Some are well built, only real problem, and it is not a problem for many, is limited upgradeablity, partly due to size and PSU does not have much overhead.

Make sure it has lots of room around it for air flow because those puppies get HOT! Fix a cup holder on top of it or something to keep your coffe/tea/hot chocolate warm while u game, lol.

That sounds pretty good to me :)
Stick to 1GB though, 2GB will slow you down in games. It is only good if you are doing a lot of video editing or rendering stuff.

You won't notice the slowdown...it is insignificant...especially if you multitask or use memory hoggning programs.

I have 2 gigs DDR3200 @ 2-2-2-5, and don't think I will ever have a system with less...
