Shuttle the pioneer of SFF (Small Form Factor) PC, constantly upgrades its series of small PCs either by adding more features or by using different chipsets to keep one step ahead of the ever growing competition. (...) Housed in the usual aluminium Shuttle case, but with a totally new front bezel, the ST61G4 offers the integrated package you come to expect from the SFF design. (...) The new style of bezel really sets the ST61G4 apart from all the cube PCs out there; it´s dominated by a full-width chrome panel, which makes the whole thing look very stylish. (...) The processor is cooled by Shuttle´s own heatpipe design and, despite an 8cm case fan and a northbridge fan, the ST61G4 is still whisper quiet. (...) Despite its size, Shuttle´s ST61G4 could and should form the basis of a fast PC, which will easily equal most full-size desktops.
Verdict: Often limitated, rarely bettered, Shuttle´s new SFF barebones system is a good as ever!
