Inferior GPU BD vs. BD/HD-DVD (not really important with hd-dvd dead but if you already have hd-dvd's) No dvb-t tuner eSata I'm not saying anyone should buy either one, there are better cheaper options available, but a system to system comparison for a htpc the shuttle is better/more capable.

Less capable is less capable. Inferior cpu or not it's a better more capable pre-assembled htpc. They're both way overpriced and under-performing but that's what you get off the shelf. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Hayes Elkins Sent: Sat 4/12/2008 2:0
