Shuttle XPC P2 3700G Reviewed

A review of the Shuttle XPC P2 3700G Small Form Factor (SFF) PC has been posted over at CNET. 'The Shuttle XPC P2 3700g is the newer, Intel version of the AMD-based XPC P2 2700 model we reviewed earlier this year and adds a couple of important upgrades. First, the P2 3700g features Intel's Core 2 Duo processors, which our tests show improve overall performance. Using the same chassis as the P2 2700, the P2 3700g also manages to find room for a second x16 PCI Express slot, though the system's somewhat underpowered power supply limits the dual-card setups available to you. Still, competing gaming-oriented small-form-factor (SFF) PCs from Falcon Northwest and Maingear not only cost more, they don't supply a second graphics slot.

Although we'd like to see the P2 3700g give you at least the option to upgrade to a bigger power supply and we take issue with Shuttle's overprotective warranty policy, we recommend this system for its affordability and expandability. It will ably serve as a trusted LAN-party companion while also pulling double duty as your primary PC.'
