A curious question for those of you who have been in the computer industry for some time, and have worked with AT and ATX specced machines alot and maybe continue to build machines of ATX mobo's and such. Have you as current or previous owners of shuttles noticed that SFF need alot more "babying" in comparison to your ATX machines? Are you finding stability more a problem? Compatibility? More parts or devices failing in SFF in comparison to ATX?
Are you convinced that SFF still has a long way to go or that perhaps that this is as good as it gets and SFF simply will have more issues and a greater percentage of failure rates in comparison to ATX machines. Or has it simply been luck of the draw? Hard to say, especially when I see SOOO many SG45G problem posts it makes me wonder if SFF can continue its accelerated growth when a generation has such issues and problems.
I'm just really curious what veterans of the PC worlds opinions are of this rapidly growing niche in the PC market, and how well it competes or holds up against the larger more upgradable standard ATX machines now and in the future.
