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).
