Shuttle has just updated the SB65G2 and now includes the ICH5R Southbridge with SATA RAID and a slightly larger 220W Power Supply. Since this is an early sample for review, it is likely the SB65G2s you will find for sale will include these updated components.
Shuttles sff boxes are sooooooo tempting to me. The lac of PAT is generally not THAT big of an issue as pretty much all modern games these days are video card limited and older games while maybe more cpu sensitive are typically running blindingly fast anyway.
Alas the shuttle box I want would have a topline cpu, a topline radeon (9800Pro or higher), a gig of ram, an audigy2, a cd burner and (here's the killer) a pair of raided 10K sata drives. I am just waaaaaay to uneasy about throwing all that into a little sff box with a teeny 200w power supply. :(

Is there any information about the version of the motherboard used in this review?My SB61 motherboard actually reads:
- SB61/SB65
- Version 2.1
...so I`m curious.
Take it easy,
