Review of the New Shuttle XPC Chassis

Posted by chrisd on from the nicer-than-you-think dept.

DigiKid writes "Mini PCs are all the rage these days it seems, especially for the LAN Gamers in our midst. Shuttle Computer has been releasing new additions to their line of XPCs, that have the latest features, like USB 2.0, Firewire, and even support for Intel's Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading. This review takes you on a tour of the newest XPC from Shuttle, based on the i845GE chipset. The benchmarks don't lie and this tiny little cube PC holds its own versus a full sized rig." Last week I put together a 51g from them and was very impressed at how well it works and how quiet it is.

    Does XPC stand for something or was it chosen just to sound cool?

    ... and the ACHME power supply [hothardware.com] is a nice touch!

    Well, it sure beats my ACME power supply, I can never access Roadrunner on that damn thing!

    Get it? ACME? Roadrunner? Time-Warner? Ahhhh...screw you guys, it was funny.
