Shuttle annonces new small form factor media PC
Written by admin on April 12th, 2008 in gadgets.
Everyone’s favorite small-form-factor PC maker, Shuttle, announced a new Media-centric PC with support for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD playback (does anyone really care about HD-DVD anymore?). The XPC G5 6801M features an AMD Athlon 64 X2 1 GHz processor, an nVidia chipset and runs Microsoft Vista. It packs the usual stuff for a media center PC, such as an LCD front panel and media center remote, 8-channel audio (7.1) and either dual analog tuners, dual T-DMB tuners or a hybrid analog-and-digital tuner, as well as a host of front panel ports, a 25-in-1 memory card reader and up to 4GB of RAM. Most importantly, the system runs cool and quiet thanks to its “Shuttle I.C.E. (Integrated Cooling Engine) advanced I.C.E. Heatpipe technology, linear controlled 92mm fan SilentX cooling and noise reduction technology with Active Airflow”.
Apart from being quiet, small and capable of playing both HD formats (one of which is now extinct), there really isn’t much to get exited about. The Shuttle XPC G5 6801M will be available soon in Europe (perhaps making it States-side in a few weeks) for 1,234 EUR or about $1950.
