"The Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P, promptly stole the thunder from the other SFF vendors at the show with yet another world’s first." As the editors of the hardware website Hardwarezone started reviewing the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P, the first SFF PC with SLI technology, the recognized a striking
analogy to other models of the P-series. For example the aluminium chassis: "While it retains its matt finish, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P has a velvety feel to it that is pleasing to the touch." And also the interior fits the well-known high quality Shuttle standards: "We have separate airflow pathways for the major heat generating components of the system." That’s why a P-Chassis has three independent cooling areas – one for the CPU, another for the hard disks and a third one for the mainboard and the graphics cards. From the varied choice of processors, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P supports all socket 939 Athlon64, Athlon-FX and the new Dual Core X2 processors. This why the performance is similar high to its graphics. For bringing performance and design together, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P was honoured with the "Most Innovative Product Award".
Conclusion:
"For the LAN gaming junkie, this is one machine that will leave your competitors in the dust. For those considering using it for a home theatre PC, it’s simply an overkill but its dark, brooding maroon looks will certainly be a fine conversation starter."
