welcome to my unboxing of something that I think is freaking fantastic shuttle
has for the longest time actually I
don't know how long they've been building mini PCS but they're darn good
at it and they their big thing is more
performance in a smaller space and I
think they've really outdone themselves
this time I don't want to I don't want to give away what this is yet so let me
just do this I'm actually going to save
the suspense that is if you guys haven't figured out to just look at the title of
the video at this point I know right um
I'm going to save the suspense of what
exactly this thing is until we've actually opened up the barebones PC unit
all the way because this is the most
performance you are going to fit in a form factor like this yeah okay so just
for comparison here's the iPhone 4
against the shuttle to show the size of this reverse monstrosity that is the
opposite of a monstrosity liliputian proportions haha
see who can pull out the literary terms now bam so there is my
iPhone not relevant I
know okay hold on hold on we'll cover the exterior first the exterior first so
we got our 5 and 1/4 in Bay going on here so this hooks up fairly easily I've
actually done one of these recently that used the same mechanism took me a couple
minutes of like you know kaj jiggering with it to get it going all right here
is a 3 and2 in front panel so if you want to put in a card read or something
along those lines you got your power switch your hard drive indicator LED as
well as your front panel connectors including two USB 3 2 USB 2 headphones
and microphone you got some ventilation
going on you got some ventilation going on over
here you got some ventilation going on over here that's a 92 mm cooling fan
attached to a 92 mm heat sinky radiator
kind of looking thing with a bunch of heat pipes going through it you got your included 500 watt 80 plus 80 plus bronze
I believe let me double check that one no don't look don't look over here this
is all a secret 80 plus bronze 500 W
power supply good work okay um this is kind of hilarious so
there's two more usb3 ports ESAT power so we're going to have to figure out
exactly what that's all about uh ESAT as well as USB uh ESAT two more USB 2 two
more so six total USB 2 clear seimos
dual Lan as well as your 7.1 audio out
and optical audio out so as you guys can already see this is a unique and very
high-end xpc I already took out the thumbs screws guys it didn't just fall
apart randomly man I'm clumsy today fail
okay uh included accessories include a power
cord and a quick guide which is in color
and English even which is good if you're me and you speak English ah here's what
it is that was easily answered so hold on I'm going to no I can't take this off
yet I can't unveil it yet okay so that
goes there and this is actually the coolest thing that I've seen included on
a case or on a motherboard rather in quite a long time so it's an external
state of power look at that so that way if you have because this isn't uh
because eat is pretty inconvenient to
run off of a be Drive which is what I use it for most of the time unless you
have an auxiliary power somewhere look at this they just include that little adapter for you and uh then you just
have to have a regular non powerered normal like e sat cable that is actually
fantastic I think slick can agree with me on this one he says yes excellent so
I'm not just crazy that's like who does that that's cool okay also included are
a couple of regular SATA cables some thermal compound a driver CD which you
shouldn't use as well as some installation screws and zip ties all
right
now removing the cover bam check this
out so inside actually just SEC just
SEC all right so taking this apart
there's our 5 and 1/4 in Drive Mount there's our two 3 and 1/2 in Drive
mounts okay there's the drive cage that goes with
them Drive screw holes and there we have it yes this is a
full-fledged x79
barebone system inside a shuttle form
factor so what does all of that mean that means that performance per cubic
foot this takes the cake so there is the
80 plus bronze 500 wat power supply that makes it all possible but L is 500 watts
isn't nearly enough for an x79 actually it is it definitely is um 500 watts is
going to be plenty for an x79 system with one very high powered graphics card
which due to the Limited number of slots available is pretty much all you're
going to be putting in here although I mean if you are water cooling and you do
want to find single slot back plates you could in theory plug in two two
reasonably you know not quite highest power graphics cards but two reasonably
High draw graphics cards because it does have dual PCI e6x slots so that's pretty
cool it it's in there all right it's in there guys we've also got
um hold on a second which way do these
plugin hold on UHA yeah we've got the
MSA supporting U spot right here for adding
a small SSD a small MSA SSD as well as
mini PCIe so that you can add uh some kind of other addin card with so yes you
don't have the option of too many add-in cards here once you put in a high power graphics card that's going to take up
your two slots but you can add a couple more other things here quad channnel RAM
is provided in the form of four slots on
either side of the CPU socket we've also got SATA 3 6 gbit per second ports uh
you know what I actually can't tell looking at them although if I had to
guess I'd say it's the two blue ones are state of three and the two orange ones
are State a 2 3 gabit per second and
over here okay sorry guys I'm all excited about this one this one's
getting uh there we go there so there is
our motherb power you can see they're using um what appears to be a somewhat
proprietary looking connector I mean is that is that really a 20 pin power
connector what is this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 so as click pointed out to me while that may be a 20 pin power connector
next to an 8 Pin EPS power connector for the CPU itself shuttle apparently just
does as they please because it has an ESAT power connector coming right out
the back of the case so we are shuttle we do what we want and that's that's how
we roll is apparently their Mantra which is cool uh we've got what is for shuttle
pretty beefy pwm cooling which makes sense because this is an LGA 2011 socket
which means that all of the CPUs that are supported on this socket are 130 W
processor so there's some serious power to be delivered to the CPU the chipset
also has a cooler on it right there and you can see that's probably going to get
some excess um drafted going on from the
CPU Cooler that also cools the bulk of
the system because any other air that's being carried out of the case is going
to be by this small 40 mil fan on the power supply
itself USB 3 is covered by and I love
the way shuttle does all the cable management for you pretty much I mean
look at this so here's all your extra connectors I'll show you those in a
minute but USB 3 is done right here you can install your memory right under that
it's not going anywhere and then uh here
are is your front USB 2 as well as your front panel audio none of this is going
to get in the way once you just kind of Route it a little bit like that once you
put your graphics card in there okay let's go ahead and undo these so I can
show you guys the included power connectors so you've got two SATA so
that's for your two 3 and 1/2 in drives two more SATA for your 5 and a/4 inch
drive and maybe an SSD that you jam in there somewhere you got a couple Molex
connectors in case you have some kind of use for those and you still got a floppy
connector which yeah I don't know and then you've got a 6 plus two pin as well
as a six pin so what kind of graphics card can you put in here let's find
out this wasn't easy guys but check this out radon 7970 now I actually with how
power efficient the 7970 is I wouldn't be surprised at all if this just worked
without without a hitch but there you go it physically
fits and we had to kind of cram it in there but that's what it'll look like
will it get enough ventilation from here so it'll actually
exhaust air out the back of the case with the blower cooler and then it will
intake air here from here so that's how it'll get access to fresh air will it be
as quiet as if you installed it in a full-size case no will it work with the
500 W power supply and a non- overclocked CPU and a non overclocked
graphics card guys this is not for overclocking this is for stock speed
operation within small form factor yes very cool guys so thank you for checking
out my unboxing and first look at the shuttle
x79 bar bones PC supporting up to 32
gigs of memory up to two Beast PCI
Express 3. graphics cards if you can you
know put in like single slot coolers which doesn't seem that feasible I don't
know where You' put a radiator in here for example but you know it's just one
of those things just throwing it out there
um up to a six core processor and all
within this tiny tiny form factor don't forget to subscribe for more videos like
