 Shuttle SN41G2   
Ultimately KickAss
(Review by MS, January 23, 2003)
At One Glance

The SN41G2 abandons the Lucite front panel in favor of going back to brushed aluminum and round buttons / LEDs which gives the front cover the look of a Triumph TR3, click image for larger view

Instead of the dual serial ports we have seen with the other members of the XPC family, the SN41G has two VGA ports to support nView plus s-Video out, click image for larger view

Not shown is the break-out at the top of the case which allows the mounting of an optional parallel port available as accessory for use with either parallel port printer, scanner or dongle.
