We built our test system with a Core i7 920, 3GB of 1066MHz DDR 3, a Radeon HD 4770 and an Intel X25-M SSD and found that performance was comparable with a regular PC, so there is no performance hit from using the small form-factor Shuttle.The system was impressively quiet and the innards remained pleasingly cool so we decided to push things a bit further.
