Shuttle's new XPC, the SB83G5C, is designed to pull home theater duty for build-your-own types, but I have a feeling its integrated front-panel LCD screen will appeal to quite a few show-off gamers, as well—especially since it has a 16x PCI-Express slot for video card upgrades. In addition, there's a built-in TV tuner, customer Shuttle-designed home theater software, and a wireless remote, in addition to all the other high-end PC ports and slots you'd expect on a new Shuttle. The price for the barebones kit itself is probably going to be upwards of $500, though, so it's hardly cheap. In fact, that might be the most expensive Shuttle I've yet seen.
