Personal Computer World: "The fastest SFF PC currently available"
 "The fastest small form factor (SFF) PC we’ve ever seen," concluded the editors of the British hardware magazine Personal Computer World about the Shuttle XPC P 2500G. Shuttle's new innovation managed four out of five stars in the end of the test, since it is "extremely quick" and has a "stylish case".
"A supercharged PC crammed into a ridiculously small chassis," say the editors about its exterior. Thanks to AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 processor, ATI Radeon X1900 XTX graphics card from Connect3D and two Gigabytes of TakeMS memory the Shuttle XPC P 2500G achieved impressive results.
Especially the graphics card was reason for their amazement, despite of the small size of the case "Shuttle found room for this graphics-card." Once tests were finished, the editors were sure that "it won’t have any problems with the latest games," because "it can match some of the dual-graphics card PCs we’ve seen."
Thanks to its powerful components "the Shuttle XPC P 2500G flew through our performance tests" completing it with 5 out of 5 stars. The "traditional, black chassis, combined with light blue panels" elegantly hides a DVD writer, a number of audio jacks, also USB and FireWire connectors.
Conclusion:
"If you want a supercharged PC in a small and stylish case, there are few alternatives at present and Shuttle has done an excellent job with the Shuttle XPC P 2500G."
