KLOSS KL-I915A - SFF With An Edge

Posted by timothy on from the smallish dept.

Kez writes "Shuttle have been synonymous with SFF for a long time now. It would take a lot to make them topple from the top spot, but that doesn't stop companies from trying. Take TriGem, with their new KLOSS KL-I915A system. The interior of the chassis is cleverly partitioned to aid cooling and installation. It has a front display which shows everything from CPU speed to which particular device failed the BIOS power-on self test (which beats a sequence of beeps or LEDs any day.) Add to that an LGA 775 motherboard, and TriGem just might be on to a winner. HEXUS.net have a review."

    I had to read the whole story to understand what this was about... a pc box, that is.

    Does it come with KDE?

    Based on what I already know about the Shuttle brand, I'm taking a wild guess that "SFF" stands for small form factor. I go RTFA, and the first sentence confirms my suspicion: "The small-form-factor PC market feels like it's in a comfort zone."

    Except it does have one 16x PCI-express slot, you know, exactly what you need for all the new video cards out there. I know some people need all 8 expansion slots of a full sized ATX machine, but with Firewire and USB 2.0 on these small machines, they are very capable and take up much less desk space.

    Henry Kloss died in 2002 so it's not a problem for him anymore, especially since he used the bnrand name Tivoli Audio for his fabulous radio-sets.
