It’s been a long time since NCIX has seriously stocked any Shuttle SFF PCs for reasons unbeknowst to me, but the line has been rejuvenated, and we’ve got some pretty awesome little barebones PCs available now. One of the coolest ones is the X27, which includes the Intel Atom CPU that everyone’s been going nuts over.

There also a pretty good deal on some X38 crossfire ready ones right now. As far as I can tell the X38 model is the same as the X48 model, but cheaper and I think lower FSB support, but how many people actually OWN a QX9770? It’s the ONLY LGA775 CPU that uses a 1600MHz FSB, so I don’t think it’s a huge problem. Here’s a picture of that one.

Now all that’s left is for me to water cool one…..
