It's the end of an era for space travel. After nearly three decades, NASA space shuttle Discovery will launch for the last time today. Liftoff is set for 4:50pm [EST] from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. For Discovery's last mission, called STS-133, the six-member crew will deliver supplies to the International Space Station, including a permanent storage module, a science rig and variety of essential spare… Read More

Germany's Shuttle Computer has taken the wraps off a new slimline nettop PC that packs a ton of features into a very slim case, potentially making it a strong contender for small business and home media center use. The Shuttle Barebone XS35 packs an Intel dual core Atom G510 processor along with Nvidia's high-performance Ion graphics platform to support streaming 3D and video playback—and users can hook it up to a big screen via HDMI… Read More

As further proof that HD DVD is dead but not forgotten, Shuttle launched a new home-theater PC this week that handles both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. The XPC G5 3101M includes a single combo drive to play discs in both high-def formats, plus conventional DVD discs. Besides the wide array of discs the 3101M will handle, it also gets a handful of other HTPC features including a TV tuner that handles DVB-T digital signals, an ATI HD 3450 256MB… Read More

Proving that gaming rigs don’t have to come in 50-pound neon-lit towers, leading small-form-factor (SFF) PC manufacturer Shuttle introduced its XPC Prima SX38P2 Pro gaming machine on Wednesday. Fitting into a case roughly eight inches wide, eight inches tall and 13 inches long, the only thing unnecessarily large about the machine would appear to be its name. Shuttle used Intel’s X38 chipset, which will support Core 2 Quad and… Read More

Leading small form factor PC maker Shuttle today announced they were releasing a new chassis targeted towards home entertainment users. The XPC M 1000 is available now at a starting price of $1,999. The M 1000 runs off of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and takes the form factor of a device which would typically sit amongst a home theatre setup. It runs off of an Intel Pentium M processor and offers a 250 GB internal SATA hard drive… Read More

Quote from the article at Anandtech: “Shuttle has done an amazing job over the last few years with its XPC systems. Shuttle originally put itself on the map as a motherboard OEM, then as the pioneer of the small form factor industry. In order to keep competitive with the dozens of new SFF units each year, Shuttle began to push sales toward its high end small form factor XPC line. As a result, accessory components for the… Read More

From Shuttle's press release: Take it on the road, hang it on the wall or pose it on your desk

The Tech Report takes a look at the Shuttle SB65G2 Small Form Factor system. “SHUTTLE'S XPC LINE HAS served as a barometer of PC technology for a while now. The line has gone from having one model of each processor architecture (Pentium III, Pentium 4, Athlon) to being ready with new models at the release of a new chipset. Releasing new models this way has allowed Shuttle to keep up quite nicely with advancements in everything… Read More

Quote from the review at HardwareZone: “Certainly we have to agree that the Shuttle ST61G4 is the best Pentium 4 based SFF for light gaming, but if CPU choice is not a problem, then the Shuttle SN41G2 / SN45G2 would be a better proposition as shown in our results segment. For those who wish to have the best of both worlds for work and play, the Intel chipset based solution with an AGP card is still the way to go because the… Read More

Quote from HardOCP's review: Kyle Bennett says: “I think the results speak for themselves. If you can find the right CPU to put into the Shuttle SN45G, you can have one of the fastest and smallest gaming boxes on the planet. Are there some caveats you have to deal with when going to a SFF PC? Of course there are, but most of them are obvious. Features will tend to be a bit more limited and certainly your expansion capabilities… Read More
