Shuttle SS40G Mini-PC

Posted by michael on from the size-isn't-everything dept.

Thomas writes "Just got an email from a friend telling me Viahardware.com has put up a review of the Shuttle SS40G - the latest barebones system. I read through the review, and it looks like Shuttle has finally made a system that is capable of being totally silent. It has a cool heatpipe and radiator design for cooling the CPU, not to mention that it looks very cool."

    I, for one, am glad that somebody finally had the cojones to stand up to Corporate America and defiantly make a noise-free computer. Too long we have put up having loud fans forced down our throats and paid the so-called "beep tax". If there is one thing that consumers have been clamoring for, it is quieter hard drives and dammit, somebody is finally giving them what they are willing to pay hundreds of extra dollars for.

    Thank you ShuttlePC, you have made the world a better place.

      I personally like the sound of my hardware revving up. It gives me this really Tim the Tool Man Taylor masculine feeling. It just makes me want to start barking. Now if I could just crank up the RPMs on my DVD, CD-RW, hard drive, floppy, and all my fans...Oh the thought gives me the warm fuzzies.

    My guess is that it costs them way more in bandwith.

    A few slashdot-class uppercuts and your entire budget is flushed down the internet-pipe ;)

  5. ss50, a powerfull fragging-machine? by Sarin · · Score: 5, Funny

    It seems that the ss40 & ss50 have a more powerfull little brother: anyone remember the Soviet ss20 nuclear missile?
    I bet that's a hell of a lot better fragging machine, it doesn't have USB though, but I guess it has a setting called USA.
