The digital performer
- Multi-feature Mini-PC barebone with Z68 Express chipset If what you want is maximum performance & lots of extras, the Shuttle XPC Barebone SZ68R5 is the natural choice. Youll be astounded by its comprehensive equipment list & new R5 design. With the SZ68R5 you get a barebone thats bursting with features & functions. As a first for Shuttle, this machine supports " Smart Response Technology" (SSD caching), which enables an SSD drive to be used for increased speed (e.g. an m SATA-SSD in the Mini-PCIe slot). The SZ68R5 also uses intelligent Intel Core processors with LGA1155 socket. Up to 32 GB DDR3 RAM can be spread across four memory sockets. A 500 W power supply with 80-PLUS certification comes pre-installed. 8-channel HD audio The superior high-definition sound with digital SPDIF output not only gives that perfect cinema feeling at home, it also offers optimal sound quality for your Skype VOIP telephone conferencing. Conveniently located ports ensure ultimate user friendliness. Dual-slot graphic cards? No problem! The creative engineers at Shuttle have worked out how to fit large & incredibly powerful dual-slot graphics cards into this compact PC. The special
Dimensions of the cards & the unusual fan size cause no problems at all in this Mini-PC. HDMI interface Goodbye cable spaghetti! Modern flat-screen TVs & large-format TFT screens can be connected to this Mini-PC with just a single thin cable. Often the audio output is also transferred in brilliant quality via the HDMI cable. If your Mini-PC already has a Blu-ray drive, the path to high-definition entertainment is clear. Intelligent cooling Shuttles patented Heatpipe Cooling technology with variable speed control automatically ensures maximum system stability & quiet operation in this aluminium Shuttle Mini-PC. Instead of swirling around the chassis, as is the case with conventional solutions, the warm air is specifically transferred out of the chassis. Cleverly hidden In this model the ports & drives are hidden behind moveable panels that offer ideal protection from dust & ensure a clean, harmonious look. Not everyone needs to be able to see just what your Mini-PC can do. Optimal air flow Warm air is transported out of the chassis by means of cleverly arranged components, which enables a large number of parts to be cooled simultaneously in the air flow. At no time can heat build up & adversely affect the stability of the system. Communication in the fast lane The integrated gigabit LAN chipset opens up completely new possibilities for communication with no restriction on the speed of data transfer. Say goodbye to information bottlenecks, whether in the company network or for home Internet access. PCI Express technology A fast X16-PCI-E slot enables the use of modern 3D graphics cards & other expansion cards that have to transfer huge amounts of data at ultra-rapid speeds. External e SATA port With this interface external hard drives can reach the same speeds as inbuilt versions. Just give it a try. For a longer life & more system stability All the components of the highly integrated mainboard of this PC are fitted with modern solid capacitors, which offer six times the lifespan of normal capacitors. Crystal-clear audio transmission SPDIF allows the transmission of audio signals in digital quality. The sound of films, music & games is sent to the terminal via fibre-optic or coax cable without any data loss. Generous supply of USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports You can never have enough of those versatile USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports. This Shuttle Mini-PC offers 10 ports, with further ports for internal expansions located on the mainboard. Pre-assembled cabling saves your valuable time The most important power & data cables are already routed & just have to inserted into the relevant components. This saves valuable time when setting up the system. Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7 This Shuttle Mini-PC is ideally prepared for the new Microsoft Windows 7 operating system. Updating to the new version couldnt be simpler. Shuttle opts for lightweight aluminium The use of aluminium in Mini-PCs has significant advantages. Aluminium has an ideal balance between weight & strength, does not rust & is not sensitive to magnetism. Its thermal conductivity is four times higher than steel. All in all, its a perfect material for Mini-PCs. Digital monitor output Large TFT monitors work with extremely high resolutions. Digital technology is essential for displaying video signals in excellent quality & with no loss of performance. This Mini-PC offers a high-quality DVI monitor output. Intel chipset inside Play it safe with the reliable chipsets from the worlds largest chip manufacturer. Intel chipsets have proven themselves over many years, have been presented with awards by the trade press & offer the best possible degree of compatibility. The interface for the fastest of memory media Internal drives to be used inside this Mini-PC can transfer data at a speed of up to 6 Gbit/s. Hard drives thus run significantly faster & br&-new media technologies such as SSDs can use their full potential. Be sure to look for SATA 6 Gbit/s. The fastest connection to external peripheral devices available to date The USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 connectors of this model allow for data transfer of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s). This enables external devices such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) hard disks to be connected & run at nearly the same speed as their internal siblings. USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 is downward compatible so that also devices of previous USB (Universal Serial Bus) generations can be hooked up.
