 Firingsquad, one of the Internet's largest and most-recognized
hardware and gaming site, took a closer look at the Shuttle XPC
barebone SN95G5. Once they were done it had managed to win the editors' admiration and earned itself a final score of 90%...
Debating the pros of the Shuttle XPC barebone SN95G5, the first striking feature is the "superbe performance" of the FN95 motherboard. Its BIOS has all "basic overclocking options covered." Thanks to the newer G5 design with its "sleek, clean looks," the SN95G5 is "the best-looking XPC Shuttle has put together to date." Speaking of cooling and noise, Shuttle's SilentX technology "works wonderfully" on the SN95G5. Shuttle also "improved the cable management" inside their XPC to allow users to set up drives in "just a few minutes."
In conclusion the editors heap additional praise on the SN95G5, they "are still very impressed with the SN95G5." The enhanced cooling system of this "stellar product" does "a brilliant job of keeping the CPU and the rest of the system cool, without generating an excessive amount of noise." But there's more the editors liked: they loved the look of the new G5 chassis, and also praised the XPC barebone's "excellent stability." Looking for a "solid performing Athlon 64 SFF?" The SN95G5 should "suit your needs perfectly." These IT-experts managed to sum it up in one sentence: "this high-end XPC comes highly recommended."
