The Long Dark Tech-Time of the Soul

This is a technology focused blog that describes my trials and tribulations with techonlogy which, no matter what brave new world is promised to be just around the corner, nearly always fails to live up to expectations.

Shuttle skimping on the hardware

It's been a while since I looked at anything Shuttle did. I briefly got excited when I saw they had a nice petite Atom-dual-core micro-PC system. Unfortunately my excitation died when I noticed they had completely skimped on the graphics and omitted an e-SATA connector. Come on guys, if this had X4500 and an e-SATA port it would be a killer system, as is it is a looking like an overpriced shiny toy. If I really want a low-power server I can do much better - and if I want high power small form factor Intel has a mini-ITX board that has way better specs taking regular dual and quad-core parts. Sigh.
