Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs have advanced in leaps and bounds since they were first released by Shuttle a few years ago. PCstats recently reviewed an attractive SFF kit from AOpen, the EX915 XCube. In terms of standard equipment, the system also supports IEEE 1394b, Gigabit LAN, 7.1 channel audio, S-Video out and an onboard videocard. Of course, if you feel the need to upgrade, the AOpen EX915 XCube also includes one 32-bit PCI slot as well as a PCI Express 16x slot for hardcore videocard goodness!
There's
more to the EX915 XCube than a fast motherboard of course...

Since the case is made from aluminum, the PC is quite
light even when fully loaded. The documentation that AOpen includes with the
EX915 XCube is complete and well written, and I'm sure even novice computer users would have no problems setting this SFF PC
up.
