Typically, when I talk about a new product from Shuttle it’s a small, bare bones machine that you need to add your own CPU and other parts to before you can use it. Shuttle also makes a line of small computers that are complete and ready to use out of the box.

The latest complete system being offered by Shuttle is called the H7 4500H and is a full media center PC. The machine runs Windows Vista Home Premium and has an integrated DVB-S TV tuner card. The tuner offers users time shifting including recording and pausing of programs. The tuner also has an electronic program guide.

The machine comes by default with a DVD player but can have a Blu-ray player optionally as well. The machine uses an Intel E2220 dual core CPU, 1GB of RAM and has a 320GB HDD for storage. Connectivity options include HDMI, SPDIF, eSATA, FireWire, and USB. Pricing for the machine is set at EUR 755 and availability in the U.S. is unknown at this time.
