Shuttle X350 might be slim but is no performance pushover

The Shuttle X350 has been sent to the fat house, resulting in a form factor that is 33% the size of its predecessor at a mere 38.5mm thin. This slim design will certainly jive with many modern homes these days, especially those who want to maximize their living space in increasingly cramped conditions. You can easily mount it behind a flat screen TV or monitor, and since it has a fanless design, you can be sure using it as a Home Theater PC (HTPC) is also a viable option since there won’t be the irritating humming of the cooling fan to disrupt your movie viewing experience. Powered by a dual-core Intel Atom D510 processor, this nettop will feature full PC functionality, packing in features including an integrated Intel chipset (or next generation NVIDIA ION graphics with true 1080p HDMI output if you have the budget and need for it), a slim optical drive bay, five USB 2.0 ports, a 4-in-1 memory card reader and a D-sub connector. It has already hit Europe earlier this year, and is now available Stateside for $379.
