Shuttle introduced a new 3-liter Sandy Bridge barebone, the
XH61.
Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH, the
European subsidiary of Shuttle Inc., one of the leading developers and
manufacturers of compact PC solutions such as the world-renowned XPC
Mini-PC Barebones, has announced the launch of the XH61, a new 3-litre
PC for Intel's Sandy Bridge processors.
Barely 7 cm high, this Slim-PC barebone extends the product range and
introduces a modern 32 nm-architecture CPU platform. The Intel H61
Express chipset selected for this new product supports
second-generation Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors for the LGA1155
socket with a TDP of max. 65 W. The two memory banks on the
pre-installed motherboard can take DDR3 modules up to a total capacity
of 16 GB.
The XH61 is provided with UEFI and has 4x SATA 3 Gbit/s, 6x USB 2.0,
7.1 Sound, Gigabit-LAN and Kensington Lock. An HDMI and D-Sub port in
combination with the graphics function integrated in the
second-generation Intel Core processors enable dual monitoring and
smooth HD playback.
The compact case (24.2 x 20 x 7.3 cm DWH) still provides space for an
optical Slimline drive and 2.5" hard disk or SSD. An external 90 W
power unit provides a noiseless energy supply. The optionally
available PS01 pedestal accessory enables vertical operation.
Alternatively, the optional PV02 VESA monitor mount allows the user to
fit the XH61 to a range of screens and surfaces.
"With the XH61, we can now fit second-generation Intel Core processors
in our smallest and fastest PCs", states Tom Seiffert, Head of
Marketing & PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH. "The practical format
of the XH61 and its predecessor, the XG41, has proven its worth and
will continue to be developed in future. 3-litre PCs represent a good
compromise between space requirements and computing performance."
The recommended price for the Shuttle Barebone XH61 is EUR 146.00 (ex
VAT).
