2005-03-07 - 64bits.se: "Best Product Award"

The Swedish hardware website 64bits.se reviewed the Shuttle XPC Barebone SB77G5, and its reviewer was quite impressed. "The initial feeling when I got the box and packed it up was: wow - this one looks nice." 64bits.se's editors believe that clear and easy access of components and cables in a barebone PC is essential, and the Shuttle XPC Barebone SB77G5 didn't disappoint.

Thanks to the fact that the cables are pre-installed, "the traditional rat's nest is avoided." Furthermore, Shuttle's work on its cooling system has also paid off: "It is rather unique in design and it works well." Another Shuttle XPC Barebone, another happy ending:
