Shuttle Introduces New SFF Barebones Media Center
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 AM
"Shuttle is well known as purveyors of some of the smallest computers on the market to the point that the name is almost synonymous with SFF computing. Today they announced a new SFF system in Germany that is intended for use as a media center. The barebones SG33G5M system is built around the Intel G33 Express chipset and loaded with lots of features. The rig has an HDMI out and ships with a VFD display and a remote. Internal expansion slots include one PCI-E x16 and 1 PCI slot, a gigabit LAN, three SATA ports, and 2 e-SATA ports. Graphics are DX9 via an Intel GMA3100 graphics processor. Power is provided by a 250W SilentX PSU."
Great. One more thing for Jason Dunn to buy. (I kid I kid!) Looks like a solid system, with HDMI out and eSata ports. If you're looking to build a Media Center "cube", this would be a great foundation to start from. But why not make it a standard audio rack shape/size (i.e. 17" wide)? It would fit into the TV stand alot better that way.
