today we will be unboxing a shuttle xpc
that is just to say one of their small form factor PCS so shuttle's been making
a name for themselves for many many years making systems custom systems even
barebone systems whether it's complete comes with all the stuff or not complete
doesn't come with all this stuff they are building small boxes small
motherboards and small power supplies non-standard smaller than you can build
on your own and that is their advantage
so they are able to provide these custom solutions that you can then add whatever
you want to and you can have a pretty neat little system out of it so this
particular one right here is the h67 H3
based on the name we can surmise that it uses the h67 chipset which means that
you have full support for all the latest Intel core I3 Core i5 and core i7
processors on the LGA 1155 platform Ah
that's what it says here 67 Express chipset supports up to 95 wat CPUs which
is the maximum I believe available on that platform dual Channel DDR3 up to
1333 MHz is supported up to 16 gigs HDMI
and DVI are both supported remember the h67 has Onboard video but does not
support the unlocked overclocking feature of the K series processor so
watch out for that if you're planning on overclocking this solution probably
isn't for you it's more for uh low low power consumption um low footprint small
footprint type systems all right one PCI e6x slot so you can build a pretty
decent gaming machine in this uh support for USB 3 and SATA 36 GB per second as
well as 7.1 High Def Audio expansion
capabilities 2 3 and 1/2 in hard drive Bays one 5 and 1/4 in Bay 80 plus 300 W
power supply so that's going to be enough for pretty much whatever you'd want to add to it remember this is a
smaller motherboard there's not a lot of room for expansion a 300 W power supply
is going to easily deal with that CPU and then pretty decent peripheral or
pretty decent components in terms of RAM and
um any expansion cards as well as a
decent video card so let's just take it
out of the box here and have a look at what there is to see I don't think I've
ever unboxed a shuttle on my channel
before although I've been following their products for a long time and uh I
do find them quite interesting although I've never had cause to build one for
myself I have been tempted many times just because they're cool little things
and it's uh it was fascinating to me especially when they launched their x58
xpc that you could put such a ridiculous
amount of power in such a small package
all right so here we are here's the sh
67 and you know what you're probably going to have to give me a minute here
although hold on hold on give me a sec I might be able to figure this out relatively quickly cuz I do want to take
off the actually no give me a sec got
gloves the reason for that this brushed
aluminum finish I love this finish but I also hate it because it looks fantastic
but it is a fingerprint magnet and it's almost impossible to remove fingerprints
from it so I'd rather just not get any on it in the first place so I've taken
off the cover you can see there are vents in the side it's got a very nice
overall finish to it uh it seems to be made of aluminum so
yeah very nice very nice indeed all
right actually let's have a quick look at the front of the case so we've got
eSATA USB combo Port two USB 3.0 ports a
microphone Port headphone Port as well as a reset switch there's also you got
to be kidding me where's the where's the power switch I'm sure it's
somewhere hold on it just a minute
okay give me a sec power switch is over here it was hiding from me a little
silver button up here okay we found it it's all good all right in here we have
some do not eat don't eat it okay here's our 5 and 1/4 in expansion Bay here's
our two 3 and 1/2 in Bays so you can put a pretty decent amount of storage in
here even though it's a tiny little case here are all the power supply cables
which I will show you in a minute uh
here we go so what do we got oh look at that they've custom wired in the SATA
cables already so the SATA cables are included one two SATA cables and then
you can see they've actually run them up here to the top corner so what that
means is you'll be able to easily plug these into the back of any devices here
now those are the SATA can't see what kind of SATA they
are but here are a couple more SATA ports should you so desire them we've
also got oh there's some pretty interesting stuff in here so look here's
a little laptop style PCIe 1X slot so
you could use that for a wireless card for example if you wanted to run
wireless on your xpc machine okay here I
want to move these oh yeah no there's your 4 DDR3 slot supporting up to 16
gigs of dual Channel DDR3 you can see the 24 pin power connector has been
wired in at the very other side there and here are all of our front panel
connectors are all already wired in so basically what a barebones does is it
allows people who aren't necessarily comfortable building their own system
from scratch to skip all the difficult stuff board mounting power supply
connections front panel connections and all you got to do is plug in your RAM
plug in your CPU plug in your graphics card in your drives and you're ready to
go all right speaking of the CPU you can
see that there is a custom cooler on it so you've got some fins on the top okay
oh it says warning do not use a CPU with power consumption level over 95 Watts
because that's what this cooler is validated for okay you're going to want
to remove these four screws and you can access those by removing removing these
screws and pulling out the drive mounting okay and then the way that it's
actually cooled is by heat pipes and the whole system is cooled by one really no
two fans so there's a one 192 mm fan
here that's a nice thick fan good static pressure and then that's running off of
a radiator style cooler here in the back so that's your exhaust fan and then your
power supply this is an 80 plus bronze 300 wat power supply also has a fan so
that's two fans for the entire system three if you put in a high-end graphics
card so let's have a look at what we've got for
um PCI or rather yeah PCIe Power connector
so we have a single PCIe 6 pin so that means that you're probably going to be
limited to something along the lines of a GTX 550 TI although there's no reason
the 300 W power supply couldn't support a 560 TI as long as uh space permits you
know what I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to I'm going to grab a graphics
card here and see what all we can actually fit here I probably won't need
long for this n give me two seconds so here's one of these here's one of these
what is this no that's a flat 50 okay oh here's a
460 twin frozer 2 so this is a pretty long card let's see if this will fit
this is a touch longer than a regular GTX 560 but yeah you can see that'll fit
with no difficulty so the power connectors here at the back are
definitely going to have enough room to be reached so if you use Molex adapters
you can easily run that off of this power supply you have three SATA power
connectors so that supports your four rather supports your full complement of
drives one floppy connector and then you're going to use both of those Molex connectors if you wanted to run a dual
PCI E6 pin graphics card like this one
if you run a single slot graphics card you do have an additional PCIe 1X slot
inside so that would be for like a yeah wireless card or TV tuner card or
whatever the case may be there you go total of two PCI expansion slots at the
back so that is a a little bit more than
ITX okay oh yeah the back okay so here
we've got DVI and HDMI out two USB 3.0
ports so that makes a total of four four USB 2.0 ports eSATA gigabit Lan and 7.1
audio out there's no microphone Port here remember this fully custom
motherboard so it's designed to work exactly how they intend for it to work
so your microphone Port is here also at
the back we have optical audio out which I almost didn't see there
moving over to the other side you can see how the power supply specs pan out
we've got dual 12vt rails rated to up to 16 amps each this is uh looks like fsp
is the OEM for this so it's probably going to be reliable and awesome in
every way all right 80 plus bronze active PFC ball bearing fan so it should
be yeah these are all good things for reliability as well as uh low noise and
low power consumption here is the heat sink for the pwm as well as the four pin
CPU power connector located in its ideal location exactly wherever shuttle
decides it goes because uh really I can't speculate on what the ideal
location is in this case all right I think that's pretty much it thank you
