Shuttle teased us just under a month ago with its Core i7-powered J3 desktop, and now that little bugger is finally up for pre-order in the States. The J3 5800P workstation is easily one of the most powerful small form factor PCs this planet has ever seen, boasting a six-core Core i7 980X Extreme Edition CPU, your choice of NVIDIA Quadro or ATI FirePro professional graphics, up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, room for two SATA hard drives, an optional Blu-ray drive, plenty of ports and a 500-watt power supply. Somehow or another, all of that fits into a chassis that measures just 8.5- x 7.5- x 13.1-inches, and if you've been looking to downsize without taking a hit in the performance department, you can finally do so starting at $1,899. The journey begins right there in the source link -- good luck keeping it below three large, Yes Man.

Well, the front of it, i mean. Not so much the sides obviously.
Shuttle's SFF PC is dated. It needs an overhaul!. The size is better suited for a Media Server or a NAS.
Is 500 watts going to be enough to push that processor/video card combo? Might just be me, but my old 500w PSU struggled to push an old AMD/ATi setup that was 3 years old! And that was just a dual-core, none of this 6-core madness!
@Enzo304 Yes, it'll be quite enough, as long as you stick with one card. It'll even power a system with one GTX 480. Of course, it also depends on whether you have a decent brand or some cheap no-name brand - the cheap brand will never actually be able to deliver 500W and will probably blow up your computer.
Thats the only thing wrong with these things if they had around 700watts of stable power I think these would win and allow for some nice watercooling and youll have a pocket rocket.

I thought a pocket rocket was the device girls keep in their panty drawer.
finally, something that can handle my MSN messenger program.
