Shuttle has built some great small-form-factor PCs. The company popularized the cube-shaped, high performance PC with their XPC line. We've reviewed quite a few of these tiny systems over the years, but Shuttle has come closer than anyone to getting them right.

The company designs and sells two basic XPC chassis—the G series and the P series. The G series is more compact, but there are definite compromises to these designs, including limitations on the power supply. The P series is only slightly larger, but offers more efficient cooling and beefier power supplies. However, both the G and P series have tended to be pretty noisy when running full throttle. The only units that were relatively quiet were those with external power supplies, like the Pentium M–based SD11G5.
