Hello Everyone,

Two perpetually, almost fad-like and recurring themes for computing

technology in 2008 are low power, environmentally friendly products as well

as tiny, small form-factor or ultra-portable machines. Power consumption and

size -- it has become undeniably hip and cool to offer products that cater

to the new carbon footprint and mechanical footprint-minded consumer. If you

didn't know better, it almost seems like the introduction of Asus' Eee PC

started the craze back in Q4 of '07 but clearly, at least small form-factor

system have been around for many years.

Some of you will remember Shuttle's line of wildly popular barebones XPCs

which became an underground hit with many in the DYI crowd looking to build

Home Theater setups or fully capable and portable LAN boxes. Shuttle hit the

scenes with this system over six years ago, if you can believe that, and

they've been growing in popularity ever since with the recent small

form-factor/eco-friendly frenzy breathing even more life into the market

niche'. And you know SFF (small form-factor) systems have arrived when the

"big guns" like Dell set their sights on this competitive arena.

Dell's marketing team had their collective thinking caps on for the brand

naming of their new line of Studio Hybrid SFF desktops. While the machine is

comprised of traditional electronics and is powered by standard AC current,

the term "Hybrid" conjures up efficiencies in power consumption along with

perhaps a physical profile that slices cleanly through the air. Click the
