As a a last note, there is another version, that includes BT, WiFi, the SG33G5M Deluxe, but is only available in specific regions (USA/Asia, but not Europe). Below is our rating of the Shuttle SG33G5M. You can judge for yourself, depending on your...

Small, Looks great. Very quite. Runs cool. VFD

Comes with only a quick setup sheet, No manual, and No driver disk. Would like the ability to put other things like a RSS feed on the VFD.

Small box, looks nice, nice construction, nice remote.

The built in video is not sufficient for blu-ray. The G33 just can't keep up...unless you like jerky video...I had to buy a HD3650 to put in it...after that, it works great.

The case has a solid design. Some may dislike the boxy shape, as it may not exactly fit in with your other A/V equipment. However, I was a big fan of the minimalist design. (Looks like a fancy gamecube imo) Installation was easy, once the optical drive...

Could be quieter since this is an HTPC case. Also, on occasion the unit had problems awaking from sleep mode. One of the more annoying gripes I have with the unit is the lack of Vista x64 support for the Shuttle XPC Tools program, which I would use to...

Built this Shuttle for our small vacation house in Tucson, so I was most concerned about heat buildup and stability since several friends and relatives (with modest tech skills) would be using it. It has worked very well so far with an E6750, 2 gigs of...

A little confusion figuring out which drivers on the Shuttle website were for my model the SG33G5M -vs- the generic SG33 SG31 family. I remember having problems which later were traced to either the wrong drivers or not installing them in precisely the...

Easy to deal with, quiet, cool, looks sharp, good assembly instructions, does everything I want it to do. Nice multimedia machine.

The e-sata port in the back is recessed too much. The first cable I used didn't work. I wound up using a SIIG cable with longer exposed ends.

This weekend, I did a fresh Vista Install with the new and updated drivers. Specifically, the new Intel video driver. Now the machine works as advertised. I have played several Blu-Ray movies using a Pinoneer BDC-2202 Blu-Ray ROM and PowerDVD (latest...

Overall the machine is still a little unstable. Crashes most of the time when waking up from Sleep mode and hangs when screen saver is activated. Seems like some of the drivers still need some work.

Packs alot in a small case. The integrated PSU and GFX card save some cash and are good enough for probably most HTPC applications. I have big hands and I could still work fairly easily with the MB. Very quite and the display matches my Sony ES...

The G33 chip set. Sure it's nice that it's integrated but if you have a TV like my Sony XBR that subject to overscan, you're out of luck. I've got about 4 hours into using Powerstrip to correct the timing and resolution and am having no luck.
