PC Zone: "The best one yet"
 "It’s small, unbelievably quiet and no less capable than any of the high-power gaming rise apartment buildings," describe the editors of the British gaming magazine Shuttle's AMD power house. The Shuttle XPC Barebone SN27P2 which is "the best one yet" let the editors round off the review rating it 90 per cent.
"Shuttles are cube-linke small-form factor (SFF) machines that aren’t too dissimilar from half-baked rolls," write the editors of the British gaming magazine PC Zone. "With all the hard work done, all you need do is spend a few minutes with the right tools turning it into a finished product: switch on, install Windows an away you go,” they continue describing how simple the set up of a Shuttle XPC Barebone is - "no specialised knowledge required." One of these boxes the editors recently had in for review.
Being the company's latest enthusiast XPC for AMD AM2 processors, the first striking thing about the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN27P2 is "how obvious it all is." Having "plenty of space inside and a decent manual to guide" a Shuttle barebones XPC "is your dream come true" for anyone who has always wanted to build an own PC.
Built around NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra chipset, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN27P2 is "a bargain" kitted out with 1GB of RAM, an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor and a 80GB hard drive. Besides, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN27P2 "will take any PCI-Express graphics card – including the double-deckers," explain the editors. Moreover, it "has a generous four memory slots that will happily soak up all those odd RAM sticks you've accumulated over the years," they add. Futhermore, one IDE and three SATA connectors are featured inside. Externally, it boasts a Gigabit LAN connector, two FireWire ports, 8-channel sound and a vast number of USB 2.0 ports. Performancewise, "there is no difference between the dimmunitive Shuttle and an identically specified system (...)." |
