just thought I would let you all know I got a new toy in the mail yesterday. It will take some time to get it setup, but I figured I would post on it anyway.

here's a review:

Shuttle boards seem to be a good deal. Stable, easy to set up, and fast enough. I'm glad they found their niche in mini pcs.

Enjoy! 8)

ok heres a question for ya. This board has the standard 20 pin ATX connector, the 4pin (square) 12V connector, and another connector that accepts a plug similar to the one that runs a hard drive, CD-ROM, etc. How do I hook this board up????

You use the 20 pin and one of the other ones - if you have the square 4-pin on your PSU use that one. If not then use one of the molex (straight inline 4 pin) power connectors from the PSU to the "EZ plug" on the mobo.
