Shuttle Barebone XS35GTA V3 Review

Others/All-in-one PC by stefan @ 2012-07-27

The XS35GTA V3 barebone from Shuttle is a successful combination between the Atom Dual Core D2700 CPU and the Radeon HD 7410 GPU, which features 160 Stream Processing Units, on 40nm. With the system we can play the latest 1080P videos, browse the Internet, chat or even game older titles. Thanks to the low power consumption and its fanless chassis, we can leave it overnight or even 24/7 to function as a seedbox or for performing other activities.

To install the main HDD, we’ll have to use the included mounting bracket, along with the screws:

 

 

 

Here is how the adapter does look when it has been attached to the bottom of the 2.5’’ HDD with the 4 black screws; the remaining 3 slim screws will be used to keep the bracket fixed to the chassis:

 

 

 

The memory can be installed into the slots even easier, by carefully inserting the module into the slot in a 45 degree angle and pushing town until it snaps into the locking mechanism:

 

 

 

Now let’s look a little at the bottom side of the barebone; here we’ll find a tiny screw hole and some other spaces left for dock alignment:

 

 

 

On the bottom of the dock we will find 4 rubber feet, a sticker which informs us about the company name, the product name, model number, power input (19V DC at 2.1A), but also the company address:

 

 

 

The top has some little plastic feet; for fixing it on the product, we will have first to align it to the chassis and then fix it properly with the included screw:
