I tried to order this over the phone but I was told they would not accept orders for products that were OOS. They also have the Shuttle SD30G2 for $99.99 + shipping.

Great deal on Shuttle SN68SG2!
Just ordered for store pick up.
is this better than the Shuttle SD30G2? I want something for a NAS and/or DVR

The SD30G2 is better if you want optical drives, more expansion room, etc.
I chose the KPC (K45) right when it came out due to the lowest power usage and size (don't need optical drive). I use mine as a media streamer/magicjack phone computer/file sharing box. Since it runs 24x7 I wanted super-low power over features and I don't want extra hardware like an optical drive using any power.
A new tweaked K45 is coming out soon with the ICE genie cooler (quiet CPU cooler/exhausst setup). FYI.
SD30G2 is out of stock. tried adding it to the cart and i got oos message
Good deal on the SD30G2, BUT limited to 1066MHz FS CPUs and 667MHz memory (and probably 65nm processors).
Way too many ppl on other threads and sites erroneously claiming 1333MHz.
Caveat emptor.

This has got to be the HOTTEST barebone/motherboard.power supply deal! Only $45 AR ($50).
Just picked 2 up at local Fry's. They didn't have too many in stock.
Better deal than this deal from 2 weeks ago for AMD CPU which was $100 after $100 rebate and tax on $200. It was AWESOME barebone with mother board and cinch to install.
ordered online ... Crosses fingers ... good deal

Just keep in mind that you will have to use an external optical drive (or temporarily connect one) to install Windows (unless you have network install), or a version of Linux on a USB stick. Personally, I see it as ideal for something like an NAS. DVR may not be a good idea, as the onboard video is quite tame, and the minimal power supply will have difficulties with a more powerful video card.
Just picked one up online. Thanks OP. =)
at $45 it is a steal. if u want optical drive u can use a cheapo version (external) and the cost will not b much. if v wait for some cheap external case for around 10-15 and optical drive for around 20-25 still this is going to b fully operational with less than $100 (if u use linux OS of course).
I got one and fingers crossed.
for DVR this is still good if u can use some powerful CPU like C2D which can take a lot of load.
