Also, unless they've done something different with the drive cage, the inboard slot (closest to the center) is going to interefere with the card cage, so you would only be able to fit a low-profile card in there... the fastest low-profile PCI-e card I've seen is like a 9400GS.

I like Shuttles - I've owned 4 or 5 of them since way back to the SV25, but I don't understand why they're trying to make these high-end boxes in the smaller style case - they should be using their slightly larger boxes that have the PCI-e slots on the other side... more interior clearance, and bigger power supplies.]]>Feb 19th 2009 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/shuttle-xpc-barebone-sx58h7-wants-a-piece-of-your-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/shuttle-xpc-barebone-sx58h7-wants-a-piece-of-your-core-i7/Feb 19th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/shuttle-xpc-barebone-sx58h7-wants-a-piece-of-your-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/shuttle-xpc-barebone-sx58h7-wants-a-piece-of-your-core-i7/It's too big to be small and too small to be functional.
Me likes big, nice, easily upgradeable cases to my powerhouse beast; or/and small semi-invisible highly networked and interconnected cases to house systems that run specific tasks.
This half way, half backed solution , specially if they come with stupid price tags, never made much sense to me.]]>Feb 19th 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/shuttle-xpc-barebone-sx58h7-wants-a-piece-of-your-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/19/shuttle-xpc-barebone-sx58h7-wants-a-piece-of-your-core-i7/

@Aaron. 500WU in a shuttle can do pretty much anything you need it do, and then some. These things are 1.3 the size of a full ATX board, have less slots/ports and hence different power requirements.
