Shuttle XPC SN95G5

Hexus got their hands on a Socket 939 small form factor computer, the Shuttle XPC SN95G5. All that power in a small space really impressed. They weren't too impressed with the price, though.

On the surface, it's all sweetness and light in the world of the SN95G5. It supports the best CPUs AMD have ever made, it has good features, the performance is great, and the G5 chassis restyle is Shuttle's best yet. But there's always a catch, and in this case it's price.
