Shuttle XPC SD31P, Continued

Ad

As with its predecessors, the XPC SD31P features an attractive design, which is unfortunately marred by its use of flimsy and overly flexible plastic front panel doors. Beneath the lower door, you'll find front panel connectors for audio, USB, and Firewire, which means you'll be opening and closing these plastic doors pretty often. But its dual hinges, also made of plastic, don't look at all trustworthy or strong, and if one is broken, the door must be removed.

The front connections lack ports for optical audio input or output
