Let's face it - big, towering computers aren't stylish unless you're trying to pull off the hollywood-hacker thing. But as it happens, Shuttle has blessed us with their latest mini-pc gaming system. Yes, that's right: gaming system. The carefully selected components that make up the 3500G (now you know what the G stands for) provide optimum performance and sufficient cooling to make the little black cube run smoother than teflon being fried on a teflon coated frying pan. No, really.

The 3500G is based on the XPC Barebone SP35P2 Pro, and comes fully equipped with the following:
- 4GB of DDR2-800 memory
- 750GB Samsung SATA drive with 32MB cache (Spinpoint F DT Series HD753LJ)
- ATI HD 3870 graphics card (512MB)
- Ethernet, Wifi, etc.
- DVD burner
- 25-in-1 memory card reader
and...
- Integrated Fingerprint Scanner. Which is the icing on the cake.

Shuttle's attractive black-box is not a bargain by any stretch of the imagination, but you can't put a price on this kind of elegance. Which will set you back roughly $2,200. Release date to be announced.
