Shuttle Springdale SB61G2 XPC Small Form Factor

Published by

Hexus in the UK were given the chance to check out Shuttle's latest smal form factor PC the SB61G2. It comes with Intel P4 support up to 800Mhz FSB, S-ATA, Firewire, LAN, USB 2.0, 6-channel onboard audio... The SB61G2 is Shuttle's vision of a truly high-performance small-form-factor PC. By borrowing heavily from the new Springdale chipset, the SB61G2 is able to amalgamate some of the more desirable features into the cute little package. The most notable of these, in our opinion, is the inclusion of direct S-ATA support stemming from the ICH5 SouthBridge. The lack of space in the SB61G2 is almost perfect for the thin, slinky S-ATA cables. Additionally, great care has been taken with the placement of various headers and ports.
