 Shuttle XPC ZEN: Smallest Barebone With External Power Supply
|
|
|
|
|
 You get a case with a extern power supply and motherboard both pre-fitted and all wired-up. (...)
In a welcome move for tweakers, Shuttle has also placed a Cmos reset button round the back, saving you from opening the case anytime an experiment goes too far...

|
 Conclusion:
It was a pleasure to have the ST62K come visit me. This XPC is super nice (...). (...) but the overall temperature is much lower than with an internal PSU.
|
|
|
|
|
 The second Shuttle candidate named ST62K follows another departure. Here, the world Silence is important. This dwarf has a passiv cooled, extern power pack and a CPU-heatpipe cooling construction, which keeps the integrated processor with a quiet 80-millimeter-aerator fresh.

 The recipe for success? (...) A small form-factor box
This choice was the key to the whole experiment. We've reviewed lots of small form factor systems, but nothing beats the Zen XPC for quiet operation or a small footprint.

 Deathly Quiet
(...) I nearly fell over in shock at how quiet things were. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you’d need to be in a silent room to even know if the ST62K was turned on or not. Yes, it’s that quiet. (...) Calling this computer nearly silent not an exaggeration!

 ZEN XPC is directed to the "home entertainment center" ... (...) The efficiency of R9100 IGP is very acceptable and well surpasses the solutions such as integrated Intel Extreme Graphic 2 with image quality. Adding such an efficient high end model of VGA board indeed offers much better 3D graphics quality

 The small design was regarded to be very successful, (...). Also the heatpipe cooling system was very good. Assembly instructions and manual were excellent. Also the low noise level was a big plus. (...)

 The Shuttle ST62K next to the SB51G2 sets a new record in compacting whatever it is that is needed for a functional PC.(...) Everything is neatly tucked away with cable ties, which finally ends the clutter that sometimes still occurred inside the earlier XPCs...

 With only 0,9 Sone, the ZEN XPC offers the lowest noise under full load in a comparison test among 35 participants. This definetely "qualifies it for the use in the living-room"

 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...

|
|
|
|
 It is a clever, well-balanced compromise that addresses the needs of many. For this reason, I foresee a highly successful life cycle for the Zen...

 (...) The only possible noise source is the single fan at the heart of the ICE system, this is a super silent 80mm fan which through the BIOS is self adjusting, remaining as slow possible until required...

 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.

 Chassis is a few centimeters smaller than before, but paradoxically it seems that inside there is more room than before. The explanation is that the power supply has been moved out of the chassis. An external laptop-like power supply is definetly a better solution. (...)

A nearly silent cooling fan also makes the ST62K perfect for small form factor home-theater PCs, where the cube's integrated Radeon 9100 IGP graphics are more than adequate for TV output...
