Shuttle proves that form doesn't kill function.

Advantages: Form, function, auesthetic appeal. Beauty.
Disadvantages: Can't be expanded greatly, can get hot.

...It's a funny thing, beauty. It's even funnier to find beauty and technology intermingled - especially in the PC market. Sure, we've got the 'l33t' gamer's tarted up beige box, complete with dragon motifs and nauseating blue lights. But where's the style? When people think style and computers, they think Apple. I'd urge these people to think again. When I carefully teased my Shuttle XPC SB83G5M from it's box, unwrapped it and set it on my desk, I knew I'd found a winner. Like I said, it's a funny thing when you finally find something that isn't just good, but by far away outstanding. It's like when you get that new phone, or you've just set your hands on your new iPod. That transparent plastic film you insist keeping on the front for as long as possible - we've all done it. The first scratch I got on my Shuttle upset me, to have...

Review of Shuttle XPC SB83G5M

Shuttle shines

Advantages: comfort, acceleration, spacious
Disadvantages: fuel consumption

...Having road tested 8 MPVs inside a week, I was fast despairing of finding that elusive vehicle that could offer me space for my growing family and performance. My Honda Shuttle test drive was to change all that. She came out of the blocks like a thoroughbred, immediately I was aware of the power of that mighty 2.3 litre engine. However, it was not just performance that I became instantly aware of, this car floated effortlessly over the terrain like an ocean liner. The all-round visibility and lofty driver position made me feel king of the road. However, there were yet more treat in store, because the acceleration both at the traffic lights and at cruising was sensational. It made me mindful of my old XR3i, as you could feel the power forcing you on. All Shuttles are automatic, and the automatic changing is just a dream. My only...

The gift of my swan bread maker SB1010

Advantages: Easy to use lovely results
Disadvantages: hvae not found any disadvantages

...My daughter has always sung the praises of her bread maker to me and the gifts of freshly cooked bread were certainly a welcome treat. I expressed an interest in owning one myself. On mother's day this year my son surprised me with a lovely gift- a Swan bread maker SB 1010! Never having used a bread maker before the first loaf was very experimental. I tried and failed to make sure that the water added in the recipe was just the right temperature, buy heating it first. Consequently the loaf sunk sadly in the middle. On my next attempt I used water directly from the cold tap and was delighted with the result- a well- risen golden loaf accompanied by an appetising aroma! My partner has always enjoyed bread with carraway seeds-not easy to find and quite expensive.I decided to try adding carroway seeds to my bread mixture and the end...

kenwood sb256

Advantages: very long lasting
Disadvantages: dificult to clean anoying tap feature

...Kenwood SB256 is a very good machine with exception to its durability although it holds 1.5 liters during each mix the design is very flimsy looking at the product u get the feeling that it is made out of a metal substance however what you get in fact is very flimsy plastic. the machiene itself on the other hand is very good the mooter is a very powerful one and capable of being put under strain. the only thing that annoyed me about this machiene was the tap built onto the 1.5 litre jug as it tends to block. takes a while to pour a 500ml smoothie however like a juicer the kenwood sb256 does strain the the seeds so it has an added benefactor to it. if i was going to buy this product i would make sure i look at its flimsiness first....

all aboard the shuttle

Advantages: small, impressive cooling system, no slowdown
Disadvantages: only 1 hard drive, no on board vga

...called www.overclock.co.uk and saw a great deal that suited his needs. His needs of recreation during off hours at work abroad, he gazed for ten minutes at his options and decided that the opportunity cost of no purchase was greater than the opportunity cost of purchase. The man was looking at a computer, but it was no ordinary computer, it was not a laptop either it was a Shuttle Small Form Factor barebone personal computer. Now I hear you cry "what is a shuttle?" well a shuttle is the name of a computer case that is 1 third of the size of a normal computer case. Computer cases are usually distinguised by type. The type of computer case you have is decided by the size of it and the size of it isn't usually in dimensions, it is often stated in terms like atx which is the average size of a computer case. The term atx is the size...

...This bag is designed for the mini computers made by Shuttle. Size: The bag is 36cm long, 23 cm wide and 19.5 cm high. Compatibility: It is just the right size to fit the following models of Shuttle's tiny computers: SV24, SV25, SS50C, SS51G, SV51F, SB51G, SS40G, SS40F, SK41G, SN41G2 iuse it with my Shuttle SS51G and its perfect as it's made this with and other models in mind. Appearance: The carry case is made out of a shiny plastic material that is slash proof. This is great if you have to go from the car to the office or whether in the rain as you can ensure the computer wont get wet.

Under this is where a zip is to ensure the bag is done up securely. The front...

Shuttle Colour Case Cover

Advantages: Makes the computer look prettier
Disadvantages: only fits Shuttle computers

...but this takes a little patience and care to put it on. Once in place, it is easy to fix with the screws. With which computers can it be used? They can be used on the following models of Shuttle mini computers: ST61G4 Series, SB51G Series, SB52G2, SB61G2 Series, SB62G2, SB65G2, SB75G2, SS51G, SN41G2 Series, SN85G4 Series, SK41G, SK43G, SN45G I personally have the Shuttle SS51G. Price = They can be bought from a variety of places such as gemma.co.uk or microdirect. Gemma Computers sell them for £18.50 plus VAT and p&p. Microdirect sell it online for about £30 including VAT. Overall Some people might think it is a bit of a waste of money as it does not add any extra functionality to the computer. What it does do is make the computer look a bit nicer and it certainly makes it...

Nikon SB 600

Advantages: Easy to read clear LCD, Light weight
Disadvantages: Limited Flash Range

...and the flash set, you get the TOTAL of the two settings. That means if you set the camera to -1 and the flash to +1 you get the same as leaving them both alone (they cancel), and if you set both the camera and flash to +1 you get a total of +2. I don't know why you should want to do this & I never have as I always leave the flash at 0 The SB-600 is small, light & competitively priced but I would but a less expensive non-branded flash (Cobra) if I could go back....

Mitsubishi Diamond Pro (2070 SB)

Advantages: Excellent display, Highly reliable
Disadvantages: It goes back a fair way and it's no Flat-bed!

...that this monitor is among the cream of the top in it's range, there are perfectly decent monitors available for under half the price which do the job very well, Mitsubishi / NEC are just one of the reliable manufacturers. Before considering splashing out on this product it is essential one thinks about whether they are buying it for the right reasons, the resolution of the 2070SB will continue to please gamers and will provide an excellent screen for home use too, but it is a lot of money, and, as stated, there are decent £200 to £300 monitors out there....
