Shrinking the PC is a Zen Thing

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the see-it's-funny-laugh dept.

TheRaindog writes "Tech Report has one of the first reviews of Shuttle's new "Zen" small form factor system, which is almost 20% smaller than current XPCs. The Zen uses a passively-cooled external power supply and variable speed cooling fan to keep the system's noise levels and footprint to a minimum. With support for the latest Pentium 4 processors and ATI's Radeon 9100 IGP chipset, performance isn't too shabby, either."

    Shuttle once again raises the bar. They are one of the few companies out there doing something intresting with bland PC architecture. I still love my old SS50, now may be the time to pick up my next Shuttle.

    This thing looks almost identical to the Soldam Polo series, the first of which came out around two years ago.

    So what's new about this?
