WEBVTT 00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:14.679 today we'll be looking at kind of an interesting thing from shuttle this is 00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:17.160 an NC exclusive in Canada right off the 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:23.199 bat and this is the h61 00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:26.359 R4 so what is what is an h61 R4 exactly 00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.920 well it's a shuttle X PC it has the h61 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:33.920 express chipset which means you've got support for the latest core i3s I 5 and 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:36.960 i7s on Intel LGA 1155 it supports dual 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.440 Channel DDR3 1333 MHz memory with up to 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:44.520 4 gigs per slot a maximum of 8 gigs so that tells us it has two slots it 00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:47.320 supports DVID it supports oh look at 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:52.079 that DVI DVD dual display support that's kind of handy so dual display support on 00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.600 a little barebones like this means that this will be great for an office machine 00:00:54.840 --> 00:01:02.000 what else do we have here in terms of the features and specifications it has a 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:08.360 USB three which is awesome given the value style product positioning of this 00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:11.400 particular guy right here 5.1 audio as 00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:13.960 well as a 250 W power supply two 3 and 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:18.520 1/2 in Bays for expansion and one 5 and 1/4 in Bay for expansion so this is an 00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:25.000 xpc from shuttle that means this is a barebones machine now I actually did a 00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:28.159 build guide for shuttle xpc systems on 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:30.200 my ncixcom channel so if you want to 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:33.479 know how to build a system in one of these then you can check that out but 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:38.119 I'm just going to give you a brief outline of what all you will need so 00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:43.799 you're going to need the barebones unit itself as I mentioned before this ships 00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:45.560 with a 250 W power supply it also has a 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:51.159 bunch of onboard connections which means it does have a motherboard and finally 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:54.240 as you can plainly see it also has a 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:56.960 case so a shuttle barebones is basically 00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:00.799 a case a motherboard and a power supply that are all specially designed to work 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:07.600 together properly so what you will need is a CPU 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:13.239 you will need memory you will also need any expansion cards that you intend to 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.319 add to it and finally you will need 00:02:13.239 --> 00:02:19.239 drives so let's go ahead actually you know what let's look at the outside of 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:23.239 the unit a little bit first so the casing itself is awesome considering 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:28.120 that this is a value unit this is an aluminum like a brushed aluminum 00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:31.160 anodized finish on here that looks just outstanding can you see can you see it 00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:38.040 in the light okay yeah looks really really sharp and then on the front of 00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.760 the sh 61 R4 we've actually got okay let 00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:46.480 me just uh take that off there we've got a nice shiny plastic piece and we have a 00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:50.720 5 and 1/4 in Bay cover so there you can put any 5 and 1/4 in device that you see 00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:57.200 fit on the front we've got our power switch and then we also have two USB 2.0 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.480 ports a headphone jack and a microphone 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.360 Jack let's go around to the back of the unit where we will find ventilation so 00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:08.200 you can see the heat pipes running up through the cooler we've also got screws 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:13.239 for mounting the cooler to the back we have two PCI expansion slots remember 00:03:10.799 --> 00:03:17.760 this is a custom form factor so you get two expansion slots in a very similar 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:23.440 form factor to something like mini ITX which gives you only one expansion slot 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:28.599 next you find your 5.1 audio out 1 2 3 4 5 6 USB 2.0 ports gigb Ethernet a clear 00:03:26.799 --> 00:03:33.560 seos button check that out you got a clear seos button on a value h61 Bare 00:03:32.040 --> 00:03:38.920 Bones machine from shuttle that's awesome that's a great feature you got 00:03:35.400 --> 00:03:41.200 two USB 3.0 ports and this right here 00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:46.040 that is the selling point so this makes it pretty much the ultimate office 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:50.680 machine because you can use those two DVI ports I don't think I've ever seen 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:55.480 two DVI ports natively on the back of a board now this is dvii which means it 00:03:53.079 --> 00:03:59.439 has all of the digital connections as well as the analog connections you see 00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.720 the little dots around the outside this is DV which means it's digital only so 00:04:01.959 --> 00:04:07.400 this one you can use a DVI to VGA adapter this one you can't so what I'd 00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:10.680 really recommend doing is using two purely digital signals you're going to 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:16.359 get the best image quality the best usability out of it and you are going to 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:21.840 have less ey strain and you'll be using it to its fullest extent okay looking at 00:04:18.919 --> 00:04:27.080 the inside here is our 250 wat power supply so not really much to say about 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.199 that it's got a single 12vt rail provides up to 16 amps why don't we have 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:34.880 a look at the connector that are available on this 250 W power supply so 00:04:33.039 --> 00:04:38.520 we have pretty much everything that we need including the 24 pin the four pin 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:43.880 which come pre-connected to the motherboard for your convenience we have 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:49.000 four SATA cables which I would imagine is sort of too many because I believe 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.840 this uh this Bare Bones only supports three drives so two 3 and 1/2 in and 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:59.000 then one 5 and a/4 mind you you could throw two 2 and 1/2 in drives in a 3 and 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:03.600 1/2 in uh bay and then you would be using all four connector so there you go 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:09.680 we also have two four pin Molex as well as one four pin floppy and a PCI 00:05:07.440 --> 00:05:14.919 Express uh plug so that means you could take something like a GTS 250 or even a 00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:20.319 GTS 450 throw it in here remember a good 250 W power supply still perfectly 00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:22.319 capable of powering a low-end or like a 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:26.280 mid low to mid-range graphics card I wouldn't go throwing like a GTX 560 or 00:05:24.479 --> 00:05:29.240 anything like that in there though all right here are our front connectors 00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:32.720 which are already plugged in now you'll see this in my build guide if you watch 00:05:30.919 --> 00:05:36.280 it but this is what's so convenient about a shuttle is that all of the 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:41.199 little finicky stuff like the front panel you know power switch uh which you 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:45.840 can see over here the reset switch the LEDs all that good stuff is all plugged 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:50.319 in so all you really have to do is plug in some RAM see check that out look at 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.520 this even the SATA cables are pre-wired into the motherboard and then pre- 00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:57.440 routed up exactly where you need them so you cut this one uh zip tie right here 00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:01.440 oh no you don't sorry you don't cut the zip tie you you undo this right here 00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:05.080 here you plug these into the backs of your drives and you're pretty much ready 00:06:02.919 --> 00:06:09.720 to rock just like that you actually don't have to do any cable routing on 00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:15.599 your own other than the power supply cables which are fairly easy to do and 00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:17.880 I'm clearly trying to put this back all 00:06:15.599 --> 00:06:21.560 wrong right now which is making my life difficult okay and then all you have to 00:06:19.479 --> 00:06:27.599 do is plug in the CPU so you take out the push pins here you take out the 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:31.080 screws at the back of the unit here right there and then you plug in your 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:35.880 CPU you plug in your RAM you plug in a graphics card if you see fit and you are 00:06:34.039 --> 00:06:40.479 done now as far as graphics cards concerned check this out for expansion 00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:43.400 on like a a value h61 be bones we've got 00:06:40.479 --> 00:06:47.039 a PCI e6x and a PCI e1x those are very good expansion options you can throw a 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:51.240 graphics card in there you can throw whatever you want in there uh probably 00:06:49.520 --> 00:06:55.440 most people will put nothing in there because this is more like an office 00:06:53.319 --> 00:07:00.960 style machine as I mentioned before it does support uh core I3 Core i5 and core 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:06.039 i7 processors although because of the h61 chipset you are not going to have 00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:10.360 support for overclocking so if you're using like a K series processor you're 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:15.160 not going to get the most out of that K series processor with a little Bare 00:07:12.599 --> 00:07:19.080 Bones machine like this one got a nice heat sink here on the vrm so I wouldn't 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:22.720 worry too much about any cooling problems and you can actually see 00:07:20.599 --> 00:07:28.039 speaking of cooling that the whole unit is cooled by three heat pipes coming off 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:32.280 the CPU Cooler into an 80 mm fan that 00:07:28.039 --> 00:07:33.599 runs and blows all the air directly okay 00:07:32.280 --> 00:07:37.680 cameraman's looking at the heat pipes there they are and then that that comes 00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:42.840 up to that radiator I showed you from the back which is cooled by an 80 mm fan 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:47.639 which draws air from the ventilation holes on the side of the chassis right 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:51.280 here through the back of the chassis cooling things like the graphics card 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:56.159 which is next to the ventilation holes as well as the vrm and the RAM which are 00:07:53.919 --> 00:08:00.599 also sitting next to ventilation holes so thank you for checking out my 00:07:57.400 --> 00:08:01.960 unboxing of the sh 61r for don't forget 00:08:00.599 --> 00:08:07.120 to subscribe to lus Tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos and also don't forget to check 00:08:05.159 --> 00:08:13.960 out my video on how to build your very own shuttle PC just by picking up one of 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:15.039 these Bare Bones units CPU RAM drives 00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:19.319 and that's pretty much all you need unless you want to throw in a graphics card as 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:24.400 well hey check this out I missed something you guys mini PCIe right here 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:27.440 so you can actually throw a wireless uh wireless card in there like a notebook 00:08:25.840 --> 00:08:31.879 wireless card also here's another pretty cool feature check this out so they're 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:35.159 using a PCI E slot see that's a PCI e1x but it has an open back so that means 00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:40.399 that if you have something like a raid card where you're going to hook up only two drives or something and it's a PCI 00:08:38.599 --> 00:08:43.800 e4x you can throw it in there it'll run at lesser bandwidth but at least it'll 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:48.560 be physically compatible because you don't have that stopper at the end of 00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:48.560 the slot
