I was just wondering that - the test that they did with Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert? Was an ASUS box one of the others tested?

I suspect the OP wants it as a capable dev box though - not sure whether it would have the grunt for that?

Found it, it was the Acer Revo, an Asus and a Compulab:

Am tempted to buy one and I don't even need it!

It might be worth having a butchers at the Overclockers Small Form Factor forum - plenty of Shuttle discussion over there, as well as other options that might be of interest.
