The Contenders

For this roundup we compared four different SFF PCs:

From Jetway we have the MiniQ 450 based on the SiS 651 chipset. Shuttle contributed the old SB51G based on the 845GE as well as their brand new corporate SB52G2 based on the 845GV chipset. Finally we have the Soltek Qbic EQ2000, also based on the 845GE chipset.
