Shuttle launches a Viiv lunchbox PC

And has good media centre cases also

SHUTTLE IS LAUNCHING a VIIV box called the SD46G5, basically their workhorse G5 line with the good chipsets removed and kickback generating VIIV components put in.

It will take a Pentium 4 or a PD, has the mandated i945G/ICH7-D chipset, and a 250W PSU. For some reason though, it lacks the usual front panel display that I like a lot, unusual in a media-oriented SFF case.

This box has all the usual goodies, the chassis is a known and very good quantity, the Intel chipset is solid if lackluster, and the combo promises a lot of Viiv goodies. Next year. Maybe.

If you are hot to trot, and simply must have a VIIV box, this is a very good one. If you want a good media PC, I would look at the SD11G5 or the SN21G5 instead. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
