Anonymous 18 years ago Yet another SFF. Continuing to cater to a niche market will eventually cut your reader count. Forge 18 years ago Stinkin auto-reply. That was supposed to be a standalone post. Good article, Diss. Anonymous 18 years ago Never ceases to amaze me how you can take a product that takes last or nearly last in every benchmark, and juice up the writing to make that same product sound not just passable, but even attractive.

In any case, the mirrored front remains a matter of personal taste. A card reader - surely a good decision in favor of the user - comes factory-installed in the 3.
Otherwise, the Shuttle uses tried-and-tested components that can also be found in the other models of the XPC series. That includes the heat pipe for CPU cooling, the 3-phase switch on the mainboard and the brackets for the hard drives - in sandwich arrangement, however. Shuttle uses a power supply that at watts is even more powerful than the two other XPC models in this test. You can find the beta driver from this link.
This could be due to the internal card reader using the C drive title and D , E , F. Since the card reader is pre-installed, it has automatically been allocated the first 4 letters starting from C.
Try these solutions to install your operating system onto the C drive and avoid such issues:. Before OS reinstallation, please remove NVidia or video card.
This is an application note for customers who want to configure a Raid 1 mirror using any Silicon Image storage product on a system with an existing OS and file system installed on their machine. However, even now you can leave the cage in place if you want. In this case to access the HDD, you'll have to remove the optical storage device in SN85G4 you have to remove the expansion cards.
On the whole, everything is convenient, and a cage of one piece looks somehow more imposing. The preinstalled card reader is absolutely the same, as in SN85G4.
That is it's a 6-in-1 reader operating at the USB 2. There is one disadvantage — you have to connect the card reader to the only potentially vacant internal USB port, so you'll get only four USB ports on the front and rear panels. The card reader can be disabled or replaced by a second hard disk. In the latter case the flash card slots on the faceplate will look not very elegant. Inside the system case you'll unfortunately see a mess of cables usual for Shuttle XPC: though much is done for the convenience of laying cables along the sides of the system case, the mutual location of on-board and case connectors has its negative effect.
The power supply unit is a tad larger than the standard dimensions, but it's not of any interference. The AGP slot is laid out closer to the edge of the mainboard, so it's impossible to install a video accelerator with a "two-storeyed" cooler. Expansion card in a PCI slot must be not very long less than 13 cm or low-profile, otherwise it'll not fit because of the hard disk.
On the whole, the computer assemblage and update convenience can be evaluated high. Memory modules in the fore part of the system case are always accessible, installing devices into the hard disk cage is very easy.
The situation with SN85G4 repeats itself: an FDD connector on the mainboard is not for nothing — it gives you an opportunity to install a floppy drive, though there is no room inside the G4 case to install it.
The sound quality is quite acceptable for those who usually listens to music in regular formats and plays games though you will still suffer an appropriate drop in performance as opposed to a sterling external solution. Long are gone those times when the "overclocking" and "barebone" notions were incompatible. These days Shuttle is lavish with the corresponding BIOS settings, though in case of this ATI chipset not everybody will like to overclock this computer.
Clear CMOS setting jumper is conveniently located near the very edge of the mainboard, so it will be convenient for you to experiment with overclocking. Cooling system and temperature conditions ST61G4 is one of the first Shuttle models using the new power supply unit — Silent X — with increased capacity W.
Design of the power supply unit is still standard "a brick" , but it uses two fans located opposite to each other: a fan on the rear panel of the system case blows the air out, while the fan closer to the front panel sucks the air in providing fair cooling of this part of the system case with storage devices.
