2005-09-23 - PC Format: "It may be small, but Shuttle's SD31P is uncompromising."

UK-based PC Format was sure of one thing after having tested the Shuttle XPC Barebone SD31P for dual core Pentium
processors: this Small Form Factor (SFF) means business. "Inside, the SD31P is as neat, well-plumbed and polished as you'd expect from a company that kicked off the small factor craze."

With features such as a 350 Watt power supply, space for three 3.5" hard drives and an optical drive, in addition to a built-in 8-in-1 card reader, it's no wonder that PCF wrote: "...there's hardly any reason these days to plump for a full-on tower system." The Shuttle XPC Barebone SD31P is based on the Intel 945G chipset, which means it supports "all current LGA775 socket processors including the latest dual-core and 64-bit beasts."

Conclusion:

"Great for those seeking the latest Intel tech in a SFF box."
