I've always liked the Shuttle boxes. Had one back in high school (2007ish) for about a day. It died the same day I got it so I sent it back and got my money back (Should've got a replacement, had a Wolfdale dual core in it).

So always liking the small size of the systems I've kept my eye on ebay for anything "unique". Came across this SK22G2 one day. After some research I found it had a Via 890 chipset, was socket AM2, and the last BIOS update added compatibility for my BE-2400 (45w Brisbane) dual core. Had to have it. Figured it'd make a really nice late era Windows XP box.

System Specs:

Western Digital 500GB Black
M-Audio Revolution 5.1 (Via chipset)
ATI HD 7670 1GB GDDR5 (HP OEM)

I did my best to stick to an "underdog" hardware scheme (all AMD/VIA). If I could've got my hands on one of the S3 Chrome cards (very rare), it would definitely be in there.

Nice little box you can put away when not needed.
I'm also planning an "underdog" non Intel/NVidia build, although I wasn't as harsh and refer to it as the "Alternative" build
