The Shuttle XPC SB75G2 is top of the line for the Intel platform, based on the i875P "Canterwood" North bridge, and the ICH5R South bridge. This system supports all 800MHz FSB Pentium 4 processors, dual-channel DDR400 memory, SATA RAID 150, PAT-enhanced memory performance, a ton of overclocking features, and lots more! (...) The SB75G2 comes in a great retail box that shows all the features and specifications, as well as some available accessories to customize the XPC. Not only does this box look attractive, it is very functional in keeping the XPC safe from damage while being transported. There are plenty of bundled accessories that come with the XPC, all the necessary cables, screws, adapters, manuals, and drivers are contained in their own box. (...) Cool air is drawn in through the sides of the case, the large wire mesh grills provide plenty of airflow. (...)
However, Shuttle's I.C.E. Technology does keep the CPU running pretty cool, which is definitely important when overclocking. (...)
Conclusion:
The benchmarks speak for themselves, the Shuttle SB75G2 may be small, but it certainly packs quite a punch. For the best performance on an Intel platform you can't beat the 875P chipset, and Shuttle has certainly utilized all that the chipset has to offer in this tiny black box. I'm thoroughly impressed with the performance and features of the SB75G2, Shuttle has really taken the time and effort in designing and building a quality product for the consumer. The features on this SFF system are just overwhelming, however Shuttle offers more accessories that can be used to customize their XPC systems. Items available include everything from changing the overall appearance, travel accessories, or even adding a matching card reader or wireless capabilities. I was also especially pleased with the overclocking results, Shuttle's I.C.E. Technology really does work great to keep the CPU cool in this tiny case, and the BIOS offers reasonable voltage and FSB adjustments to get the most out of a CPU. Even when the system is overclocked and running under a high load, the system still manages to stay reasonably quiet.
