Barebone for your Media Center entertainment - compatible with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

Shuttle Europe have announced a Media Center specific XPC, the magically titled XPC SB83G5M. Using the Intel GMA graphics chip makes the onboard graphics good enough for MCE2005. Unfortunately like all other XPCs there is only one PCI slot and one PCI-E slot which makes it difficult to use in a twin tuner configuration for Freeview. Hopefully we'll see a Twin Freeview tuner on a single card soon though.
