2004-10-28 - Virtual Zone: SN95G5, 94% & Editor's Choice Gold Award
 The SN95G5 the best AMD based SFF system I've ever tested, and if you're looking for a new SFF system for your Athlon 64 Socket 939 processor, the SN95G5 should most definitely be your system of choice...
The engineers at Shuttle have done a great job with the exterior of the case, and it is easily one of the best looking SFF systems ever made by Shuttle. (...) The Shuttle SN95G5 uses the very popular Phoenix - AwardBIOS that we've seen in a good number of high end motherboards over the last few years. The SN95G5 has one of the most comprehensive PC Health Status BIOS options I've seen recently. (...)
Conclusion:
(...) After more than a month of using the SN95G5 not only for testing but also as my own personal rig,
it is very easy for me to say that Shuttle has an exceptional product in the SN95G5. Fundamentally,
the SN95G5 has all the features and performance numbers found on the very best nForce 3 Ultra
motherboards but is able to pack everything into a small great looking box.(...) From our testing, the SN95G5 is as fast and even at times slightly faster than the best Socket 939 retail motherboard that we've seen so far. (...)
So the performance is top notch, what about the features? One of the best things about the XPC line and particularly the SN95G5 is the fact that everything comes built in. (...) The SN95G5 is easily one of the best looking SFF systems around, with the new drive covers and black design going a long way on the aesthetic side of things. Installation was a breeze (...). The SN95G5 the best AMD based SFF system I've ever tested, and if you're looking for a new SFF system for your Athlon 64 Socket 939 processor, the SN95G5 should most definitely be your system of choice.
