Shuttle announced the XPC Barebone SG41J1 with the new J1 case, this barebone features an Intel G41 based motherboard and will be available for 146EUR (excl. VAT). Full specifications can be found
over here.
Shuttle Inc, a leading developer and manufacturer of
multi-form-factor solutions such as the XPC Mini-PC Barebones, today
announces the XPC Barebone SG41J1 in Europe. The first offspring of
the J-series is the pioneer of different other Mini-PCs to be
introduced in the upcoming weeks.
The chassis of the XPC Barebone SG41J1 is almost re-signed from
scratch. Developed for most versatile use, the SG41J1 maintains the
advantages of previous XPC models while incorporating many
improvements. The J-series represents the next step in the evolution
of Shuttle Mini-PCs that has begun in 2001.
For the first time models of the J-series also support the mini-ITX
standard allowing for easy future upgrades. The cooling system
includes linear controlled fans, large ventilation holes and improved
airflow inside the chassis. As a result, even high-performance
components such as a dual-slot graphics card, Intel Core 2 multi-core
processors and up to 8GB of DDR2-memory can be fitted. Pre-routed
cables facilitate the setup. There is also Kensington lock present at
the back of the case for enhanced security. A completely new front
design with a decently lit XPC logo makes the SG41J1 easily
recognisable.
The XPC Barebone SG41J1 is based on Intel’s G41 Express chipset and
includes a DirectX 10 Intel GMA X4500 GPU with a DVI-port. It also
sports an array of USB 2.0, PS/2, parallel and serial ports. One
PCI-Express x16 slot and one 32bit PCI slot are available for further
expansion. The system is powered by a 250 Watt power supply.
