Shuttle introduces the XPC Barebone SH55J2, a new mini PC system for Intel LGA1156 processors.
Shuttle Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of
multi-form-factor solutions such as the world-famous XPC Mini-PC
Barebones, today announces the launch of its new XPC Barebone SH55J2.
Now, for the first time, a single Mini-PC supports all Intel Core
variants for socket 1156.
From today, the SH55J2 brings you a Mini-PC platform which utilizes
all the features of the new Intel Core series - whether it is the
integrated HD graphics chip, the turbo boost function or two and four
CPU cores. The energy-efficient processor generation is ideally suited
for Mini-PCs.
The HDMI interface can be activated using many Core i3 and Core i5
processors with integrated graphics function. Even playback of HD
video is possible with it. A VGA connector to use a second monitor is
also available. Both high-resolution picture and sound are transmitted
digitally via HDMI. If enhanced graphics performance is required or a
processor with no graphics function is used, then the PCI Express slot
can be fitted with a faster dual-slot graphics card.
What's more, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SH55J2 also has a total of nine
USB ports, an eSATA/USB combo connector, audio ports (analog and
SPDIF), a Gigabit network interface, a PCI slot and a card reader.
Inside the case is space for two 3.5 inch hard disks and a 5.25 inch
optical drive.
Its 80 PLUS certified power supply unit with a 300-watt output offers
sufficient reserve capacity for sophisticated system components. The
SH55J2 is also cooled via a heatpipe cooling system with speed
controller. Anti-theft protection is provided by a Kensington lock at
the back of the case.
The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH55J2 is available from specialist
retailers in Europe immediately. Shuttle's recommended retail price is
251 Euros (ex. VAT).
