 The German hardware website "Tomshardware" had a look at the Shuttle XPC Barebone SB77G5, finding it to be as an "interesting alternative" to the 925X chipset-based computers. It is ideal for those users who want to continue using their AGP graphics card instead of switching to PCI-Express. The Shuttle XPC barebone SB77G5 is
based on the i875 Canterwood chipset, but thanks to its socket 775 it supports "all the latest Pentium 4 processors," making it very flexible. This is why it is "interesting for power users" who always want to "have the latest and most powerful processors in their PC." The "usual Shuttle quality" is obvious when looking at the interior. There is no chaotic cable management, so the Shuttle XPC barebone SB77G5 "always looks tidy." The noise level was also quite impressive, as the editors measured "only 43 decibels" during a "two-hour-torture" test.
Conclusion:
Clever combination of i875P chipset and socket 775 for all current Prescott processors with an "interesting cooling system."
