00:00:07.560 --> 00:00:15.480
welcome to my unboxing of another shuttle xpc barebones PC I love these

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:20.199
things as you guys have probably figured out by now I think they're a fantastic

00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:24.680
idea and a great way to build a small form factor PC in the most simple

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

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

00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:38.520
to build their own PC but you're an Enthusiast who doesn't have the

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.239
knowledge necessarily to do some of the

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:45.120
more complicated parts of System Assembly like installing the motherboard

00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:50.120
connecting the front panel headers um connecting the power supply correctly to

00:00:47.239 --> 00:00:55.199
the motherboard all of this kind of stuff there we go so the shuttle xpc

00:00:52.920 --> 00:01:00.199
barebones kits actually make all of that stuff simpler while leaving the main

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:04.400
configuration parts of the system system so that is the CPU memory the drive the

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

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:15.040
they also include a colored quick start guide to

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:18.840
help you get started so here is the the general basic shuttle chassis that

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

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

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

00:01:29.360 --> 00:01:35.840
a card reader or something like that power switch hard drive indicator LED as

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:41.399
well as your front panel head ports so you have two USB 3 two usb2 headphone

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:46.719
and microphone ports all built into the front with a nice Sleek brushed aluminum

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:50.040
finish the top is also brushed aluminum the sides are also brushed aluminum and

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.240
they look can you see the brushed yeah there you go and you got ventilation

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:57.320
holes all along the sides because that is the only place where you're going to

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

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

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:11.599
mm fan built into the power supply there's your power connector here are

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:16.560
your onboard display outs so there's DVI which supports VGA via an adapter you

00:02:13.480 --> 00:02:19.680
can tell cuz it's a dvii and then HDMI

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.680
we've got uh USB two times four times as

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:24.239
well as one e SATA USB 3 that's running

00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:29.720
off the Intel chipset so that's going to be nice high-speed USB 3 gigabit

00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:32.400
Ethernet as well as 5.1 audio out did I

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

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:42.959
what shuttle has done on the inside in terms of configuration for this system

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

00:02:45.440 --> 00:02:50.760
shuttle does want to make this as simple as they can because they are designed

00:02:48.920 --> 00:02:55.080
for novice Builders and experienced Builders alike

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

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

00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:09.560
in drive base so if you do install an

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:16.159
external 3 and 1/2 in device like I showed you before you will sacrifice one

00:03:11.799 --> 00:03:16.159
of your potential internal 3 and 1/2

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:24.239
in mounting Bays hold on there we go got

00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:27.200
it so there you go just an aluminum piece right there fairly straightforward

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

00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:35.879
your drives here inside you see they've already done most of the complicated

00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:40.840
connections for you so things like the front panel USB 3 the front panel uh

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.799
connectors like your power switch your reset switch your or there is no reset

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

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

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

00:03:56.760 --> 00:04:02.879
these four thumb screws pull out the custom Heat pipe cooler that shuttle

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

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

00:04:09.239 --> 00:04:15.319
a uh a single fan here and then one small fan in the power supply shuttles

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:18.600
are actually quite quiet even compared to compared to something like a

00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.479
performance desktop in spite of the fact that you can still put a lot of

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

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

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

00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:41.520
second now speaking of high performance ssds you can install an MSA SSD if you

00:04:39.840 --> 00:04:45.120
want to use it here for Intel SRT caching to go along with your boot drive

00:04:43.080 --> 00:04:49.039
or any other Drive in your system and then you can also install a mini PCIe

00:04:47.479 --> 00:04:54.800
card so they've got support for both of those built right into this very small

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.639
form factor motherboard now in terms of

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

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.240
to a dual slot high performance graphics card and we've actually been able to fit

00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:11.360
a Radeon hd7970 into one of these shuttles with

00:05:08.960 --> 00:05:15.280
no issues in fact so we never actually ran the card last time but we should

00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:20.759
totally do that with the z77 board we should throw a compatible Intel

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:26.280
processor inside here quad core and then we'll throw 7970 and and see how it

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:29.400
fares actually here is the vrm

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:31.400
cooling and here is one of the things

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:38.080
about this machine that is most unique and most special this is a 500 wat 80

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.759
plus bronze power supply in this form

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

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

00:05:47.479 --> 00:05:55.600
small that the only suitable comparison is the iPhone comparison that is how big

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.600
it is there you

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:05.400
go wow three three rails on on the 12vt

00:06:01.400 --> 00:06:07.360
uh 12vt rail neat okay I think that

00:06:05.400 --> 00:06:10.800
pretty much covers the general unboxing and overview thank you for checking out

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:15.080
this video and don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips for unboxings reviews

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:18.840
and other computer videos sorry guys I was just firing this up for the uh for

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

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

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:34.039
two uh Molex 4 pin perip connectors we

00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:37.360
have four SATA power connectors and

00:06:34.039 --> 00:06:39.639
finally we have a 6 plus2 and a six pin

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:43.440
connector so we have full support for high performance graphics cards another

00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:49.039
thing that I totally forgot to show you guys is the fact that it includes a

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:51.319
power cord it includes didn't even go

00:06:49.039 --> 00:06:55.919
through the accessories two SATA cables a slot cover all the mounting screws you

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:01.240
need as well as a couple cable ties thermal compound as well as never

00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.840
actually remembering which I intended to do although I didn't promise you guys

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.120
I'd do it never actually remembering to take out the color installation guide

00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:14.080
which oh look at that they included in a bunch of different languages

00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:17.199
too which shows you how to do

00:07:14.080 --> 00:07:21.479
things in

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.479
color that is all
