| Innovation comes from thinking slow and smart. Shuttle doesn't seem to want to miss a trick with it comes to design. Their ICE cooling system really impressed me. The case vents on the floor of the Zen XPC and its general ventilation tie right in to the single fan concept. This and the heatpipe design shows good systemic thinking over at the Shuttle R&D office. Shuttle has produced a high quality item and their attention to detail shows. A perfect example of this is the grommets we found between the 80mm fan shroud and its mounting point. As much effort to minimize noise seems to have gone into the Zen XPC as went into its clean lines and good looks. (...) Overall, we found the Zen XPC unit a solid little machine that I'm sure will prove itself as a compact replacement for a desktop or make an fantastic media center. (...) The Zen XPC however, will put a smile on your face at the end of the day for its innovation and utility. Where it shines most, is in the productivity and media world that the bulk of computer users fall into. (...)
Pros:
- Extremely quiet operation.
- Very small and compact case.
- Design is smart and well thought out.
- Good performance.
- I/O ports on front and rear of unit both hot simultaneously.
- ICE Cooler Technology is FANTASTIC.
- External CMOS button.
- Prescott ready.
-
External PSU. |
