Shuttle SS50 Review (think Shuttle SV24)
VIAHardware has a review up on Shuttle SS50; the ultra mini case alike SV24 but supports Pentium4:

As you can see the SS50 is just as thoroughly packed with features as the SV24, and more. The SS50 is larger than the SV24 since it rearranged where the hard drive was installed in order to keep good airflow around the CPU area. Below you can see a close-up of the ports, buttons and LED's that are on the SS50. Notice the additional port on front - a Firewire port making connecting a digital video camera or other high-speed device simple and easy. Also on the rear of the SS50 there have been some changes as well. Gone is the parallel port and the RCA out port that were present on the SV24. In their place is another Serial Port, and an S-Video to RCA adapter cable. With the majority of all the new printers being USB, or supporting both USB and parallel, this shouldn't be a problem. The last picture is a view of the PCI slot covers. As you can see, the PCI cards can now be installed without a 90° adapter, and you can also install two of them this time around, enabling you to configure your mini-pc to do many different things.

This system comes with a LOT of built in stuff. Good thing is that it still has 2 PCI slots. The GeForce4 PCI should come in handy!

Nice if you don't want to upgrade much or add loads of hardware.
I don't think it will hold much appeal for hardcore computer users... The possibility of it being a LAN games machine is quite a good idea. As you suggest show a GF4 PCI into it and away you go. Probably cheaper than a laptop and slightly more upgradable, but you still need a screen

I don't think the box is targetted to hardcore users. Like you said, bringing this box to LAN games is a HUGE plus. In the case of the screen, it's possible to slap a 15" LCD screen on TOP of the casing and make it look like a squarish iMac
