It´s highly overpriced (at least compared to German prices) and some of the components suck.

The external Audigy 2 NX USB is not only more expensive than an internal Audigy 2 card, it´s also much slower, means you´ll see less FPS in games. Look here for a review of that USB sound card:

The X800GTO is an outdated card, it only has 12 pixel pipelines, but it can be overclocked very well.

If you don´t actually need a Shuttle case (that barebone Shuttle alone costs about 400€) you could get a much more powerful PC for the same price, one with 2GB RAM and a faster sound and video card.
