Price $429.99

If you need to take a step beyond laptop, take a look at Shuttle's SX38P2-Pro, a "barebones" PC with just a case, power supply and motherboard, that'll let you build just about anything you want. The small form factor case has a subtle, elegant design capable of fitting in almost anywhere, including your living room. Doors cover the bays and ports, so all you see is the smooth, black front face, silver accents, and a blue power light. The SX38P2-Pro's unique fan/heat-pipe cooling system lets you use the latest quad-core processors without fear of cooking them. You have room for a couple of PCIe slots, for your video card(s), and even a Wi-Fi card in the mini-PCIe slot. A 5.25 inch bay, three 3.5 inch bays let you install a variety of drives, and the four slots for DDR2 memory let you pack enough punch to take care of most normal build-it-yourself needs. External eSATA, USB, FireWire and Gigabit Ethernet ports, with analog and digital outs for the built-in 7.1 channel HD audio, along with a slot for an external Wi-Fi antenna, ensure you can connect all the peripherals and extra storage you can afford! Ready to work with the tweakers and overclockers, it has a number of presets, and you can even change the memory frequency. There's even a convenient button to clear the BIOS if you go too far. Well built and easy to work with given its size, quiet and yet with room for the latest cards, the SX38P2-Pro makes a great foundation for a small but mighty computer! Take a look for yourself!
