I really like this computer case. The finish is very pretty, and fits in well with my stereo components (I bought this to create a PC to connect to my TV). As long as you stay within the stated power requirements, everything will be fine. I especially love the CPU cooling system; the bracket is much easier to install and use than almost any other CPU cooler I've ever bought, and it clearly will work better. It is quiet (I watch streamed tv with it, and am never aware of any noise coming from it) and has lots of ports. I plugged in my own video card, so I can't comment on the integrated video; I assume it sucks because all integrated video sucks. ;-)
The main cons of this type of unit relate directly to its size. If you hope to have a super gaming rig, look elsewhere. The power supply is not beefy enough to put in a powerful video card, nor is there physical room for one. If you want a lot of drives, look elsewhere as you can fit two 3.5 inch drives and a 5.25 inch drive.
The biggest annoyance for me was the really, really bright front power light. It drove me nuts when I was trying to watch TV streamed from the net. I ended up cutting the cable to it as I couldn't easily figure out how to do it less destructively.
When putting together a system using the case, make sure you stay within the power constraints for the CPU and any video care you might add. Size of any device is an issue, so make sure they will fit before you buy them.
I'm really happy with this little system and would recommend it.

An update to the Classic Shuttle. I like this model much better than the newer, fancier models--no doors to open or close, eveything within easy reach. The surroundView technology allows driving one monitor from the internal video board, and a second monitor from a compatible video card in the video slot. It works well, and the drivers are all Windows standards, so installation and upgrade to Windows 7 was no problem.

This is a great barebones system; I'd definitely recommend it to anyone that wants a quite, compact system. Not quite for performance enthusiasts, however.
Pros:
Really cheap for what you get!
Excellent upgrade path from AM2 System (CPU & DDR2 memory re-usable)
Very well thought out case layout and cooling characteristics
Lots of USB and audio connectors
Really really compact and quiet (but not silent)
Quite decent power (runs Nvidia 8800 GT, 95 Watt CPU, and SB Audigy 2 EX, no prob)
Cons:
PCIe port on outside with about 15mm clearance between board and side of case. Therefore, no fancy video card coolers or 2 slot cards
DDR3 memory not supported
105 Watt CPU TPD max, so the best CPU I think you can get right now is Phenom II X4 95W 3.0GHz AM3 (not 125W version!)
The integrated video and audio work, but my old Nvidia 8800 GT clearly outperforms the embedded ATI video.

The BIOS does not support ISOLINUX and will not boot on a Linux install disk.
The workaround is to boot on a USB drive using a SBM (Smart Boot Manager) image which allows you to hand off initialization procedures to the CDROM after initial startup.
There is a VGA and a DVI port. These are not separate devices. If you are doing dual monitors you'll need to install a separate video interface card.
On the up side:
low noise
compact package
modern appearance.
