Typical price: £940
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
What you need to know
Reviewed on: 2 October 2007
Tags: shuttle, windows vista, ports, mini
We like:
Stylish looks; fast Core 2 Duo CPU; 500GB hard drive
We don't like:
Noisy; high price; dodgy TV tuner
You might also need:
TFT display, mouse and keyboard
CNET 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
