Every once in a while, something comes around that we have no option but to cover it, even though it's not even remotely mobile (did you notice that's why we have an "off-topic" category?). Anyway, the Shuttle XPC P2 3700G belongs to this group.

The XPC P2 3700G, another small form-factor (SFF) PC from Shuttle, reaches new levels in defining the ultimate gaming platform. Powered by an Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X6800, the 3700G comes with all of 4GB main memory and 400GB hard drive (I remember when my first desktop had a 20MB hard drive - and I kept wondering what to do with all the free space).

With Nvidia's GeForce 7950GX2 powering the display, you get to be in the heart of the action. A Shuttle CR40 16x dual layer DVD burner takes care of your backup needs, while an integrated 22-in-1 card reader is provided to read and write everything else.

A fully configured Shuttle XPC P2 3700G carries a price tag of €3044 (excluding VAT). Check out the feature list int he extended entry.
