Shuttle launches Intel Viiv mini-PC

Barebones PC first to support Intel home entertainment technology

Shuttle, makers of small form factor (SFF) PCs, has launched its first small barebones PC with support for Intel’s Viiv home entertainment technology.

Viiv is based on a set of Intel-prescribed technologies that aim to make it easier for PCs to become the centre of your home entertainment system and, at the same time, gives Intel a badly needed boost in the 'living room' market that is dominated by consumer electronics companies.

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SD36G5M is aimed at those capable of building their own home entertainment PC that won’t take up much room or break the bank.

The G5 chassis has an efficient power supply unit, SilentX technology for quiet operation and the ICE cooling system.

It supports standard desktop components including Pentium 4 and Pentium D processors, PCI Express graphics cards, optical drives and DDR2 memory.

The case is due to ship soon. Shuttle has not announced the price, but has outlined the case's full specifications.
