Shuttle has introduced two new small form factor PCs, the XS35GTA V3 and XS35V3. Both are small desktop computers that measure about 9.9″ x 6.4″ x 1.5″ and which feature 2.13 GHz Intel Atom D2700 processors.
They also each feature fanless designs, which means they shouldn’t make any noise whether you use them as low power desktop computers or stick them next to your TV for use as home theater PCs.
The Shuttle XS35GTA V3 features Radeon HD 7410M graphics with 512MB of dedicated video memory and DirectX 11 support.
The XS35V3 is a cheaper model with Intel GMA 3650 integrated graphics. The two computers sell for about 233 Euros ($289 US) and 172 Euros ($213), respectively.
Both are offered as barebones systems. That means while they include a CPU and GPU, an external 40W fanless power supply, support for up to 4GB of memory and space for a 2.5 inch hard drive and an optional optical disc drive, you’ll need to bring your own storage, memory, and operating systems.
Shuttle does include HDMI and VGA ports, built-in 802.11n WiFi, Ethernet, mic and headphone jacks, and 5 USB 3.0 ports.
If this wasn’t a bare-bones, it would be a good deal. As it is, it seems not worth the price. Though I do like the fanless design.
Well mind the Euro price includes VAT. So it may be a bit cheaper in the US.
