This review is from: Shuttle SS56GV3 Intel Socket 478 SiS 661FX Barebone

Pros:

This is an excellent machine. Quiet fast, good looking. I have built over 5 of these (over 25 other Shuttle models). Rarely they break down -one did 3 days after setup-no video, fan full blast - means something vital died on motherboard. Other unit ordered at same time is fine 2 weeks later

Cons:

I filled out form on Shuttle web page to get RMA. 8 days later still no response, even after I complained by telephone. They found my note and "sent it to Shuttle Main office. That was 2 days ago. I already purchased another unit moved HD, RAM to new unit and that works fine. Now I'm waiting for Shuttle to give me an RMA so I can ship it for exchange

Overall Review:

While Neweg was doing RMA replacements this got done quickly w little time wasted. Now that you must deal w Shuttle - it's unbelievable. DO NOT BUY Shuttle machines if you must rely on them to do the RMA's. Terrible way to run a company. Too bad the units are very good and they rarely fail but when they do...
