2005-03-18 – PC Go: "The perfect pc for office and living room"
 A Media Center PC needs to do more than just add a TV card or some special hardware. It also needs to be quiet and stylish so that it can make itself at home in a living room. When they recently tested the Shuttle XPC System G5 8300M, the editors of the German IT PC Go magazine praised the system's stylish look, low-noise level, and performance. We hate to brag, but we'd have to say we weren't entirely surprised by their conclusion: "This XPC is perfect for the office and the living room."
Small, quiet and attractive: these are the words that perfectly describe the Shuttle XPC System G5 8300M. The stylish design of this SFF PC allows it to find a rightful place in a living room. In spite of its small size, users get a "fully configured PC" as the editors of PC Go report. Equipped with an Intel Pentium 4 processor with 3 GHz, 512 MB of RAM, a 200GB SATA hard drive, and an ATI Radeon X300SE graphics card, this system is not only suitable for "playing DVDs and CDs," but also as a "normal pc … that showed no weaknesses when it came to office work." In addition to the design, size and power, the noise factor was another important element: "The noise produced by the system is acceptable."
Conclusion:
"The perfect PC for office and living room."
PC Go score: "good."
