Jul 19 2007, 4:00pm CDT | by Shane McGlaun
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.
Supported CPUs include Intel Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo E6000/E4000 series, Pentium dual core E2000 and Celeron 400 series processors. The mainboard used can support up to 4GB of DDR2-800 RAM. The HDMI out is HDCP compliant so you can use the system to playback HD content from HD DVD or Blu-ray. Sound is via 7.1 HD audio chip and supports Dolby Digital Live and DTS Connect. The price for the barebones kit is 320 Euros or about $453 here in the states. Via Shuttle
