Shuttle has announced the SH170V compact desktop. The new 3-litre Mini-PC barebone goes by the name of XPC slim XH170V and is based on Intel’s H170 chipset. “3-litre PCs have for a long time represented a really serious alternative to conventional PCs,” says Tom Seiffert, Head of Marketing & PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH. “Increasingly, they are matching larger PCs in terms of processor, memory and drive support, and in many scenarios the improved integrated graphics function makes dedicated graphics cards obsolete.”
Measuring 240(L) x 200(W) x 72(H) mm, the XH170V can be operated in various positions, either lying flat, installed upright with a stand, or fitted behind monitors and to any suitable surface with a VESA-compatible mount. Its black steel chassis can accommodate two 2.5″ drives plus one slimline drive, or three 2.5″ drives. All connectors and the bay for the optical drive are hidden behind front panel doors.
The model includes support of many Intel Celeron, Pentium and Core processors for socket LGA1151 (up to 65 Watt of TDP) and up to 16 GB DDR3L memory split between two slots. Unfortunately no DDR4 as yet. The board offers an M.2 slot, a Mini-PCI-Express x1 2.0 slot and three SATA connectors with 6 Gbit/s and RAID. Additionally, the machine features 4x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, eSATA, RS-232, Gigabit Ethernet, 2x DisplayPort and HDMI.
The MSRP for the Shuttle XH170V is US $265.
