2005-09-30 - PC Games Hardware: "Editor’s Choice"

The editors of the German hardware magazine PC Games Hardware tested the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P and loved it right away. And they still do. After a detailed review in August they had again a closer look at the worldwide first SFF PC for SLI and awarded it the "Editor’s Choice."

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SN26P was the object of interest of the editors of the German hardware magazine PC Games Hardware. It was the world’s first SLI SFF PC featuring two NVIDIA GeForce 6800 graphics cards, a AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ dual core processor, one Gigabyte of memory and a 250 Gigabyte hard disk. This configuration already indicates that this PC is to bring outstanding performance along. Under full load the temperatures of the CPU went up to 45 degrees only, the hard disk’s temperature reached low 37 degrees, while the case just had 35 degrees. After having taken a look at the noise level, the editors reported: "For a SFF PC the noise of 1,5 Sone (Windows) and 2,3 Sone (3D applications) is good." This is why the editors awarded it the "Editor’s Choice."

Conclusion:

"Editor’s Choice"
