00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:15,480
welcome to my unboxing of another shuttle xpc barebones PC I love these

2
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:20,199
things as you guys have probably figured out by now I think they're a fantastic

3
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,680
idea and a great way to build a small form factor PC in the most simple

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,480
possible way and it's not just a great way to build a small form Factory PC

5
00:00:26,439 --> 00:00:32,719
it's a great way to build a PC in general if you're Enthusiast who wants

6
00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:38,520
to build their own PC but you're an Enthusiast who doesn't have the

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,239
knowledge necessarily to do some of the

8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:45,120
more complicated parts of System Assembly like installing the motherboard

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:50,120
connecting the front panel headers um connecting the power supply correctly to

10
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:55,199
the motherboard all of this kind of stuff there we go so the shuttle xpc

11
00:00:52,920 --> 00:01:00,199
barebones kits actually make all of that stuff simpler while leaving the main

12
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,400
configuration parts of the system system so that is the CPU memory the drive the

13
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:08,760
graphics card you want to use totally up to you and for you to install and then

14
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:15,040
they also include a colored quick start guide to

15
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,840
help you get started so here is the the general basic shuttle chassis that

16
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,119
they're using these days it has a 5 and 1/4 inch Bay which is uh with a matter

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,320
of a couple minutes you can get it hooked up to the front uh button on your

18
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:31,200
optical drive you've got a 3 and 1/2 in front dri front Bay you can use for like

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:35,840
a card reader or something like that power switch hard drive indicator LED as

20
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,399
well as your front panel head ports so you have two USB 3 two usb2 headphone

21
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,719
and microphone ports all built into the front with a nice Sleek brushed aluminum

22
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:50,040
finish the top is also brushed aluminum the sides are also brushed aluminum and

23
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:53,240
they look can you see the brushed yeah there you go and you got ventilation

24
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,320
holes all along the sides because that is the only place where you're going to

25
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:01,479
have air being intak in order to be oh is he trying to look at those sorry guys

26
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,560
and then it will be exhausted by the 92mm fan at the back as well as the 40

27
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:11,599
mm fan built into the power supply there's your power connector here are

28
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:16,560
your onboard display outs so there's DVI which supports VGA via an adapter you

29
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:19,680
can tell cuz it's a dvii and then HDMI

30
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:22,680
we've got uh USB two times four times as

31
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,239
well as one e SATA USB 3 that's running

32
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:29,720
off the Intel chipset so that's going to be nice high-speed USB 3 gigabit

33
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:32,400
Ethernet as well as 5.1 audio out did I

34
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:38,560
say 5.1 that looks like 7.1 sorry guys all right let's open this up and see

35
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,959
what shuttle has done on the inside in terms of configuration for this system

36
00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:47,120
you can see it's only three screws to get it opened up thumb screws of course

37
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:50,760
shuttle does want to make this as simple as they can because they are designed

38
00:02:48,920 --> 00:02:55,080
for novice Builders and experienced Builders alike

39
00:02:54,080 --> 00:03:01,280
on the inside it's pretty straightforward again all we need is a screwdriver here to take out all the

40
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:07,799
drive base so you can see there's our 5 and 1/4 in as well as our two 3 and 1/2

41
00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:09,560
in drive base so if you do install an

42
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:16,159
external 3 and 1/2 in device like I showed you before you will sacrifice one

43
00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:16,159
of your potential internal 3 and 1/2

44
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:24,239
in mounting Bays hold on there we go got

45
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,200
it so there you go just an aluminum piece right there fairly straightforward

46
00:03:25,799 --> 00:03:32,640
once you get it bolted in at the top it loses a lot of that Flex so it's going to be perfectly sturdy for installing

47
00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:35,879
your drives here inside you see they've already done most of the complicated

48
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:40,840
connections for you so things like the front panel USB 3 the front panel uh

49
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,799
connectors like your power switch your reset switch your or there is no reset

50
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:49,120
switch pardon me but your uh front LEDs and whatnot you've also got uh what else

51
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:54,640
is plugged in your CPU fan is already plugged in although you'll probably have to take that off in order to install the

52
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:59,079
CPU so to install the CPU is quite simple all you have to do is take out

53
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,879
these four thumb screws pull out the custom Heat pipe cooler that shuttle

54
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:07,000
uses to cool their xpcs so you got three heat pipes going up here to the 92mm fan

55
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:11,959
that does most of the exhaust for the system so due to the fact that they use

56
00:04:09,239 --> 00:04:15,319
a uh a single fan here and then one small fan in the power supply shuttles

57
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:18,600
are actually quite quiet even compared to compared to something like a

58
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:22,479
performance desktop in spite of the fact that you can still put a lot of

59
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,240
performance inside a shuttle so in terms of SATA uh upgrade options we've got 1 2

60
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:32,600
3 four SATA ports two of them are SATA 3 6 GB per second so fully ready for the

61
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:37,039
latest high performance ssds and two of them are SATA 3 uh SATA 2 3 gbit per

62
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:41,520
second now speaking of high performance ssds you can install an MSA SSD if you

63
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,120
want to use it here for Intel SRT caching to go along with your boot drive

64
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:49,039
or any other Drive in your system and then you can also install a mini PCIe

65
00:04:47,479 --> 00:04:54,800
card so they've got support for both of those built right into this very small

66
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:57,639
form factor motherboard now in terms of

67
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:02,759
expansion slots we've got a PCIe 16x as well as a PCIe 4X so you can install up

68
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,240
to a dual slot high performance graphics card and we've actually been able to fit

69
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,360
a Radeon hd7970 into one of these shuttles with

70
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,280
no issues in fact so we never actually ran the card last time but we should

71
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:20,759
totally do that with the z77 board we should throw a compatible Intel

72
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:26,280
processor inside here quad core and then we'll throw 7970 and and see how it

73
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:29,400
fares actually here is the vrm

74
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:31,400
cooling and here is one of the things

75
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:38,080
about this machine that is most unique and most special this is a 500 wat 80

76
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:39,759
plus bronze power supply in this form

77
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:44,160
factor look at how small this thing is oh I'm going to do it I'm going to do it

78
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:50,000
wait for it wait for it taking it out of my battery case oh yeah this thing is so

79
00:05:47,479 --> 00:05:55,600
small that the only suitable comparison is the iPhone comparison that is how big

80
00:05:52,319 --> 00:05:55,600
it is there you

81
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:05,400
go wow three three rails on on the 12vt

82
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:07,360
uh 12vt rail neat okay I think that

83
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,800
pretty much covers the general unboxing and overview thank you for checking out

84
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:15,080
this video and don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for unboxings reviews

85
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:18,840
and other computer videos sorry guys I was just firing this up for the uh for

86
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,880
the test that I want to do here and I realized I totally didn't show you guys

87
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:30,880
some of the internals here so we've got a front uh floppy connector we've got

88
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:34,039
two uh Molex 4 pin perip connectors we

89
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:37,360
have four SATA power connectors and

90
00:06:34,039 --> 00:06:39,639
finally we have a 6 plus2 and a six pin

91
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,440
connector so we have full support for high performance graphics cards another

92
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:49,039
thing that I totally forgot to show you guys is the fact that it includes a

93
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:51,319
power cord it includes didn't even go

94
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:55,919
through the accessories two SATA cables a slot cover all the mounting screws you

95
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,240
need as well as a couple cable ties thermal compound as well as never

96
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,840
actually remembering which I intended to do although I didn't promise you guys

97
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:08,120
I'd do it never actually remembering to take out the color installation guide

98
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:14,080
which oh look at that they included in a bunch of different languages

99
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:17,199
too which shows you how to do

100
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:21,479
things in

101
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:21,479
color that is all
