I honestly haven’t been following Shuttle for quite some time but it’s nice to know that they’re still pumping out a variety of small form factor systems. The latest ones to come out for the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) market include three Intel Core 2 Duo supporting systems – the SD01XD, the SD02XC, and the SD30G2B. Both the SD01XD and the SD02XC caught my eye simply because I can imagine deploying them in a living room environment.. possibly as a home theater PC system.
