Shuttle have unveiled their new Media Center PC, the snappily titled SB775G5 XPC. It comes in the new G5 case and supports Intel LGA775 chips. It is based on the i875P chipset, and sports AGP8X, ECC DDR400 and SATA RAID. For I/O it has about everything you could ever care about, from USB to SPDIF.
What can you do with it? Put Linux on it, and run the new Cyberlink PowerCinema suite. Please note, I said Linux and Cyberlink. If you want a full featured media center PC running something other than Windows, you can now do it, legally. This version looks and feels like the Windows version, has an OpenGL media center GUI interface, supports remote controls, and plays DVDs. It will even do widescreen output and supports instant on. While it is currently OEM only, how long will it be before you can buy it retail? Linux users, your software has arrived.
