Shuttle does Viiv: SB36G5M XPC [Review, sfftech]
Things sure have come a long way since Shuttle introduced the SV24 in 2001. Over the last couple of years, Shuttle has gone about revising the style of is SFFs to include the "larger" P-series chassis. While the benefits to this are self evident, fans of the original G-series size remained. In recognition of this, Shuttle has continued to present new models based on this form factor. Both the "G" and the "G5" continue to be produced in varying form for different chipsets. Today, we take a look at the SD36G5M, Shuttle's latest Intel based G form factor.

Shuttle's XPC SN21G5 barebones system [Review, techreport]
Fortunately, Shuttle hasn't completely forgotten about do-it-yourself PC builders. In fact, the company has just launched a new addition to its small form factor barebones lineup. The XPC SN21G5 packs NVIDIA's GeForce 6100 integrated graphics chipset, a carefully massaged ICE cooler, and room for a GeForce 7800 GTX into Shuttle's proven G5 chassis.
Can the diminutive SN21G5 keep up with the latest full-sized ATX motherboards? Perhaps more importantly, how does it compare with Shuttle's last cube with integrated graphics for the Athlon 64? Keep reading to find out. Wed, 22 Feb, 2006 | 21 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
World Exclusive - ARMARI Pantheon-FX [Review, Hexus]
The Armari Pantheon FX system is a decidedly niche product.
It's designed to appeal to those of you with a large wedge of cash to
spend on a PC, yet don't want to splash it on some run-of-the-mill
affair. Armari has taken the step of engineering a gaming machine
with some of the tastiest components available at the start of 2006
and amalgamated them into a sexy-looking small form-factor unit
sourced from the folks at SilverStone. It's clear from the choice of
components that performance is of foremost concern. Thu, 16 Feb, 2006 | 21 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Shuttle XPC SD11G5 Small Formfactor PC Review [Review, PCStats]
Shuttle recently introduced a line of SFF PCs that rely on the kind of CPU made expressly for notebooks. The mobile Intel Pentium M processor combines excellent performance characteristics with low power consumption and low heat output. Technically speaking, the Shuttle XPC SD11G5 SFF PC is based around the Intel 915GM and Intel ICH6M chipsets, and it supports socket 479 Intel Pentium M processors. Onboard goodies consist of a hardware 7.1 Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit sound card and of course an onboard Intel GMA900 videocard care of the i915GM chipset.

Shuttle XPC SD11G5 (Intel 915GM - Socket 479) [Review, hardwarezone]
Shuttle is undoubtedly the master of SFF systems with a huge range to suite every need, but they've never had one to the tune of the XPC SD11G5. Based on the Pentium M platform, this could very well be the most ideal SFF in every aspect, but with one caveat. Mon, 14 Nov, 2005 | 30 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle XPC SD11G5 Celeron/Pentium-M SFF [Review, Hexus]
One stumbling block Shuttle faces in marketing the SD11G5 is
price. A search of online retailers shows it to retail at around the
£340 mark. That's a lot of wedge to pay for a motherboard, case
(albeit a stylish one), and cooler. There's also the lack of relative
gaming performance from the onboard graphics. Playing any modern game
is an absolute no-no, as far as we're concerned. Shuttle, though, is
aiming the SD11G5 at style gurus and those interested in an
ultra-quiet, powerful machine. In that respect and if you can put up
with the price, it succeeds well. Wed, 09 Nov, 2005 | 18 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle Pre-Configured P2500g (SN25P) SFF [Review, xtremeresources]
The P2500g (also known as the SN25P) was the first small form factor computer to offer HyperTransport and PCI Express.
The XPC SN25P uses the new P chassis, a member of Shuttle's fifth generation XPC chassis family. The P makes a number of improvements over the earlier G, G2, G4 and K series chassis which will be mentioned in more detail later in this review.
Paraphrasing from Shuttle's press kit, the XPC concept utilizes high performance, industry standard desktop components, using minimum size possible while preserving component compatibility and expandability, and finally Shuttle's continued high focus on quality, using best-of-class materials, construction and industrial design.

Shuttle SD11G5 XPC [Review, tbreak]
Based on the 915GM+ICH6M chipset, the SD11 supports almost all of the new technologies such as
SATA, DDR2 for which Shuttle provides two slots and PCI Express which is provided in the form
of one x16 slot and another x1 slot. Since this is a G version of the chipset, you have onboard
video in the form of Intel GMA 900 and Shuttle does good by not only providing DSUB and DVI
connections, but an S-Video output port as well allowing you to connect the XPC directly to the
TV. Wed, 19 Oct, 2005 | 25 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle XPC SD31P [Review, Hexus]
The one word that describes Shuttle's SD31P XPC is competent.
Just add a hard drive, preferably SATA, optical drive, RAM, and an
LGA775 CPU and away you go. Everything works just as it should, and
installation is a real cinch for even novice XPC builders.
Performance is also good when judged in comparison to ATX-sized i945G
and i955X motherboards, and the ability to specify a Pentium 4 Extreme
Edition or dual-core CPU, GeForce 7800 GT, 2GB RAM, and 1TByte of
storage, should your pocket be deep enough, is eminently possible in
this larger-than-normal XPC. Wed, 19 Oct, 2005 | 37 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
AOpen's Pandora Box Makes it to the Market [Review, legitreviews]
When we first heard of AOpen's upcoming Pandora small form factor system at
Computex 2005, we thought that it was nothing more than a lawsuit waiting to
happen. It looks like Steve Jobs over at Apple has taken mercy on the AOpen
Pandora as it is being launched as scheduled... Fri, 07 Oct, 2005 | 115 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle SD31P XPC [Review, tbreak]
The power button has the standard blue LED that we’ve complained about being too bright or not
bright enough and Shuttle really showed us this time- there’s an option in the BIOS to change
the intensity of that light and Shuttle provides eight levels of intensity. Of course, us being
the type to never show complete satisfaction, we would now like Shuttle to include a scheduler
where we can have the light on full level during the day and lower at night. Thu, 22 Sep, 2005 | 45 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle XPC SN26P (nForce4 SLI) [Review, HardwareZone]
Just a tad larger than existing P-series XPC machines, Shuttle's newest
entrant defies all previous expectation with its performance shattering
results. Based on an nForce4 SLI platform for AMD CPUs, dual GeForce 6800 GT
cards and other fine components, this is a breathtaking machine. Tue, 06 Sep, 2005 | 154 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle SD31P SD31P Barebone Dual Core Ready SFF PC Review [Review, HardwareXL]
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SD31P is the worlds first Small Factor PC for Intel's dual-core Pentium processors. Based on the Intel 945G chipset with ICH7-R, it supports both 64-bit and dual-core processors. Unfortunately we didn’t have a dual-core nor a 64-bit Intel processor to test the SD31P to its fullest potential. We used a Intel 540 for this review but in combination with a X850XT graphics card which makes this Shuttle a powerful fragbox ;-) Mon, 05 Sep, 2005 | 41 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
AOpen XC Cube EZ482 - SFF Barebone [Review, TrustedReviews]
The latest instalment of AOpen’s XC Cube range, the EZ482, looks like a step backward when you examine the exterior design. In fact, the EZ482 looks identical to the first generation of XC Cubes from the outside. But as we know appearance isn’t everything and internally it’s quite a different beast altogether. This is AOpen’s first XC Cube with support for Socket-939 Athlon 64 processors and component video output, not that the two are specifically related of course.
The review sample of the EZ482 that I had a look at was black, although colours might vary depending on the country in which you buy it. Although I’m not a fan of this specific front design the finish is of a high quality and very glossy, so it’s good that AOpen supplies a polishing cloth to wipe grubby finger prints off.

SFF Roundup, Socket 939 Systems [Roundup, AnandTech]
The enthusiast community is currently very pro-Athlon 64, and with good reason. Looking at the feature set and performance, not to mention the frequently lower price, AMD is currently beating Intel in most areas. Some people mistakenly assume that this means that AMD is currently ahead of Intel, but they're really only ahead in one area: performance. Intel still sells more CPUs total - many going to the business sector - and Intel is ahead in the manufacturing and production areas, particularly in terms of total fabrication capacity. For better or for worse, Intel is certainly not out of the picture yet, and the total number of Athlon 64 SFFs is far less than what is available for socket 775. We'll be covering that segment in the future, but if we were personally to go out and buy a SFF right now, it would be an Athlon 64 based system, preferably with socket 939.

Shuttle SN26P with SLI Preview [Preview, bit-tech]
The Shuttle SN26P is the standard P-chassis that we've seen before, with a few subtle modifications. We won't bore you with all of the basics of the chassis, but there are a few extras that need to be pointed out. If you want to learn a little more about the basic structure, have a browse through our SD31P review.
The unit that we have here isn't quite a retail version. There are a couple of hardware niggles that we suspect Shuttle will be sorting out before shipping these things out in quantity. We'll let you know about that as and when we have the chance to look at a revision that addresses our concerns. In the mean time, we've put together a comprehensive preview of what you can expect out of this system. Thu, 18 Aug, 2005 | 52 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Shuttle SD31P Small Form Factor XPC [Review, HotHardware]
When we last checked in with Shuttle back in April, we took a look at their current entry for the Intel platform, which was based on the latest chipset at the time, the i925XE. Our introduction for that piece went something along the lines of how the SFF market typically lags behind the full-sized board market, but how Shuttle was right on the cutting edge. Well, it's been no more than 12 weeks since we wrote that article, and Shuttle is right back in the mix with the SD31P. The SD31P utilizes the "P" chassis, so visually speaking it should look the same on the outside as their last few entries. The FD31 motherboard, however, is based on the brand-new i945G chipset, which, along with a few other improvements, supports dual-core processors.
Now, let's take a step back. We're looking at a system no larger than the average monitor or kitchen appliance that can run a dual-core CPU and supports high-end PCI-e graphics. And it's only the third 945-based product we have received in the labs for testing. So, Shuttle is not just keeping up with the other manufacturers - they are actually seem ahead of the game now. A quick run-down of the other features of the SD31P include 24-bit on-board audio from none other than Creative Labs, dual channel DDR2 support at speeds up to 667MHz, as well as Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) support for running 64-bit operating systems. All signs point to the SD31P perhaps being the pinnacle of Shuttle's XPC line so far, so let's get right down to our review. Tue, 09 Aug, 2005 | 48 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
