Shuttle Updates XPC Mini Line with X200

Travis Hudson — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 12:48:08 EST

The Shuttle XPC Mini X200 is no bigger that a stack of magazine, looks a bit like a Wii, and packs one hell of a punch. This machine comes loaded with a Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR 2 ram, 7.1-channel audio, digital and analog TV tuner, FM tuner, Wi-Fi and even includes a remote. Media center, anyone? Tack on a card reader and a buttload of USB ports for one hell of a miniature computer. The X200 is going to be available in a high-end model for $1,300 and a lower end model for $1,000 or so. – Travis Hudson

Shuttle's Flaming New Rig Ain't For N00bs

Louis Ramirez — Thu, 21 Dec 2006 20:05:22 EST

I've seen some fugly PC cases before, but this one definitely wins the dork award. Not that I could buy it anyways cause according to Shuttle, their new XPC 1337 caters toward "elite gamers" only.

"XPC 1337 systems offer the absolute best technologies available. This all comes together to make one unique system with performance to boot—only the 1337 apply."

So what kinda of specs do the "1337" get?

For $3,449 you get a Core 2 Extreme QX6700 CPU paired off with two ATI X1950 Pro cards and 2GB of RAM. Not to mention the flaming cool case with matching mouse and keyboard. At $3,449, I'd rather be a rich n00b than be part of the broke 1337. – Louis Ramirez

Shuttle XPC P3100 Gaming PC Hands-On

Jason Chen — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 14:53:19 EDT

The Shuttle XPC that we used with the iz3D Gaming Monitor deserves a mention as well. The XPC P3100 unit is quite small and generates barely any noise, thanks to its Silent X technology.

Inside, there's a 3.4GHz Pentium 4 550 LGA775 processor, a 150GB SATA Western Digital Raptor, 1GB of DDR2 Kingston RAM, 16x DVD+RW, and a PNY nVidia 7600 GT video card. It powered the games we tested on it just fine—but they were a year or two old, so we'd be surprised if this didn't run the games well. The XPC did a good job generating the dual images for the iz3D monitor with no slowdown at all, which is impressive.

We ran 3DMark 06 on it, and it got a score of 2870 SD Marks, with an SM2.0 Score of 1218, HDR/SM3.0 Score of 1132, and a CPU Score of 1017. Comparing to scores on the net, it's decent but not cutting edge.

There are a slew of USB and firewire ports on the front and back of the unit, but honestly you won't have problems reaching around the small machine to plug in stuff into the rear. There's also an included card reader, and various connectivity options. A good amount of power in a little package. – Jason Chen

Shuttle XPC M2000 Media Center PC

Jason Chen — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 19:10:38 EDT

Shuttle is going both up and down in size from its standard Mini PCs. This M2000 has some of the same case stylings as the X100, but in a set-top-box form factor.

The specs are:

Core Duo T2400 1.83Ghz
512MB DDR2-533 RAM
nVidia GeForce 7600GS PCIe w/ 256MB RAM
Realtek 7.1 channel audio
Gigabit Ethernet
4x DVD Dual Drive
250GB SATA2 Hard Disk
Card Reader
802.11b/g

It also supports Viiv and has component out (no HDMI, sorry). CNet's got a review of it that says the unit performs well but needs more than its basic 512MB of RAM.

No pricing on this yet. – Jason Chen

Shuttle XPC X100: The Half-Sized Mini PC

Jason Chen — Fri, 09 Jun 2006 14:41:45 EDT

The Shuttle X100 Ultra Small PC has gotten some changes and some finalized specs since we last looked at it in February.

The 1.83GHz Core Duo PC makes it even more powerful than the Mac Mini (1.5 and 1.66GHz). ~~which is actually bigger than this device. Not many PC makers can claim that they're smaller than Apple.~~ Sorry, got my sizes mixed up. Thanks Andrew!

The other specs: a standard 3.5-inch disk drive that can hold 250GB or more of data, slot-loading DVD player, ATI Mobility Radeon X1400, 256MB DDR2 RAM, external 120W power supply and an internal USB socket in front.

The X100 should be available next month for around $1,000, depending on your specs. – Jason Chen
