The ZEN XPC was a revelation of stability during the hole test and there were no crashes at all (...) Despite the powerful CPU (3 GHz) it outshines all previous XPCs including their colleagues from other SFF manufacturers which we had tested so far. Since the ZEN really works whisper silent and is hardly noticeable in 30cm distance. Thus, the Shuttle ZEN takes the last hurdle to a nearly perfect home media center. Friends of the Windows XP Media Center Edition are surely happy to hear that Shuttle has also a suitable remote control in its product range.

Conclusion: Shuttle continues with the ZEN their XPC-development with regards to living-room. Shuttle had an ear for the customers' desires and minimized the noise factor which is very important especially in connection with multimedia. The workmanship is superior as usual (...) therefore I move my two thumbs upwards for the Shuttle XPC ST62K "Zen"!

+ External, fanless power supply
