Shuttle's SS50 reviewed

Shuttle's SS50 bare bones system The Tech Report has a review up of the latest aluminum cube from Shuttle, and it's an impressive little beast. Small form factor PCs are becoming more popular, and this is the first platform I've seen with Pentium 4 support, DDR, and decent on board video via SiS' 650 chipset."

  1. Upcoming SS40 (AMD based) by Gandalf_007 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Shuttle also has plans for a SS40 model, which is very similar to the SS50, except for supporting AMD processors instead of the Pentium 4. It also uses the SiS chipset (745), which is very similar to the 645 Pentium-4 chipset (same GF2MX-level integrated graphics), and is even better than the surprising 735 chipset.

    "200x181x280mm" ... "the latest aluminum cube from Shuttle"

    As the object is a cube,
    200 = 181 = 280

    Therefore,
    200 = 181
    19 = 0
    and
    280 = 181
    99 = 0

    Therefore,
    99 = 19
    80 = 0

    Cool... I like these new cubes. Next lesson: Using the circumference of a Pepsi can to disprove the theory of relativity.
