These little comps have me interested but I really dont know if they are worth it. What are the pros and cons of this little box? I like the look but what about power, speed, user friendly etc. Are they compatable with most components? AND most importantly, are they powerfull enough to handle "normal" pc usage, not gaming and such, although that would be nice. Thanks :D

My SB51G is a great little box. The two cons that I have with it though, are the small power supply, and the heat levels inside. The setup that I have is fairly good, and will run any game that I throw at it.
Here are my system specs:
P4 2.53G
1GB PC2700
200GB WD HDD
Pioneer DRV-A05U
Visiontec GF4 TI4400
Intel 1000MT NIC
Even with the power supply fan going full bore, it is much more quiet than most of the tower systems that I have built, and has all of the storage that I could want.

Whether the smaller box is worth the $$ will depend mainly on your own requirements and usage.
It is adequate for normal computing purpose, saves space and looks quite pretty and cute. Girls will like it more... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
