Shuttle XPC SN95G5:

If you want to put your 939-pin Athlon64 into a spanky new SFF, this nForce3 powered Shuttle XPC SN95G5 might just be the way to go. Even though Shuttle is king of the small form factor, this unit did have a few drawbacks.

Luckily, performance and looks make this an otherwise attractive SFF solution. Installation was great, and essentially half finished for you. The only thing I didn't like was the close proximity of the SATA adapters to the CPU.

FIC P4M-RS350 MicroATX:

Keeping with the “smaller” theme, this FIC P4M-RS350 MicroATX motherboard might be a candidate for your next miniPC / HTPC project.

The mCubed T-Balancer Fan Controller must be really good if the crew at BigBruin had these kinds of problems with the software but still gave it a recommendation like this:

Even with the problems I encountered in the delivered software and the somewhat unfinished version 2 software that m-Cubed has on their website, I found the T-Balancer and incredible device with no match or even close second in the industry.
