Shuttle has consistently proved that smaller computers don't have to sacrifice performance, and the Shuttle XPC P2 3500G is no exception.

Computeractive has teamed up with Shuttle to offer a lucky winner one of these computers.

The Shuttle XPC P2 3500G is based around the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 – this impressive chip is actually no fewer than four processors in one.

This means that the computer is able to do more than one thing at a time, so virus scans will not affect whatever else you may be doing at the time.

This is backed up with 2GB of memory, which is plenty for the supplied copy of Windows Vista Home Premium. Home Premium includes Media Center so the Shuttle can be used for watching films and listening to music.

The graphics card, an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, is a good all-rounder, capable of ordinary day-to-day tasks and some gaming when you need to relax.

The 400GB hard drive has plenty of space for any task you could choose to name and there is a dual-layer DVD player for recording home movies or making backups.

A card reader in the front of the case is well placed for copying photos from digital cameras. A monitor is not supplied with the Shuttle but there is a wireless keyboard and mouse as well as wireless networking.

For your chance to win this prize, answer the question shown on the right before 6 August 2008.
