I didn't take after the Shuttle, and almost the Slimline, because of the 'box' form. I would of liked it in a slim tower/desktop form, as I would of had more placement options there.
While the Slimline isn't designed to go flat, at least it's... slim.
I never liked shuttle for their outrageous prices for low-end equipment. They have changed a little, but not much. I used to be able to get laptops with similar specs at similar prices.
But even so, a Slimline is much more unassuming, after all, who would expect a slim 9800gt? The shuttle case can obviously fit a fill height card (not sure about the heatsink/fan though?), so the shock value is decreased.
My desk was limited enough in space, so in early 2008, this made my decison to go for a s3120n, and a s3430f.
I mean, I am a Dell fan, personally, but Dell didn't have any offers retail like this. I am not a huge fan of buying stuff online, because of the lack of retail presence, combined with an inability to 'see' the product before purchasing.
btw... that is off topic. no-one can get further off topic then I can.
