I don't know much about Intel SFF PC's, but if you choose to go with Shuttle, it's always a good idea to choose an older model with a newer revision. These will have a lot of problems from the older revisions fixed. Shuttles' early revisions (V1 and V2 usually) always have a ton of problems.

I was looking at this Albatron ABOX 865G Socket 478 I dont see any reviews and was wondering if anyone here used it. The reason im looking at this is b/c of its 1000mbps lan and 478. Anyone have imput?

Heh, the SN95G5 has gigabit lan, but you'd have to switch over to AMD for it =)
