What is it: Small media centre PC with a Core 2 Duo processor
What we think: Shuttle has dressed up a gaming PC to look like a media centre and it doesn't succeed

CNET.co.uk judgement:
Despite its smart appearance, the Shuttle XPC G5 3300M is too noisy to park under your TV and too slow to be a gaming God Box. We'd expect far more for £940 than the 3300M is able to deliver
