The Test
The beauty of the SS51 is that it has the potential, from a feature standpoint, to be a perfect replacement for a large desktop PC. While it doesn't have the upgrade path of a conventional PC, it can easily offer the same features and for the first time it can also offer similar performance to a full fledged desktop. But we had our reservations about the SiS 651 chipset and Shuttle's implementation, so we put it to the test and compared the SS51 to our own identically configured 845G setup to see if this system could really pass as a high performance PC.

My advice a a Shuttle Customer... DO NOT RISK IT !There are lots of other vendors with integrity out there. The jokers I've delt with at Shuttle in the US void any warranty they claim ! Im my experience with them I can count on an unneeded flashing bios.. If thats the problem.. than your ok.. ortherwize.. you're on your own.. after a couple of attempts..forget it.. your warrantys expired !! - A Joke they play on us !
