Elmshorn - 04. June 2004 - Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH, European Headquarter of Shuttle Inc, a leading designer and manufacturer of small form factor (SFF) computers and motherboards, today introduces the XPC SB81P (http://de.shuttle.com/druck_sb81p.htm#sb81p), the world's first SFF computer based on the leading-edge FB81 motherboard. Featuring support for 16X PCI E graphics cards, an all-new ICE (integrated cooling engine) cooling system, 350W Silent X power supply and more, the XPC SB81P redefines performance computing.

"The XPC SB81P offers a new benchmark for performance and integration," said CK Hung, CEO, Shuttle. "Excitement leading up to this introduction has been very high among our user base âEUR" this is a great day for Shuttle and our customers."

Featuring Shuttle's all-new "P" series chassis, the SB81P delivers integrated RAID functionality and bays for three 3.5-inch hard disk drives (screwless installation). Further, with next-gen integrated graphics, next-gen I/O architecture and eight-channel audio, as well as a full palette of integrated I/O ports, users get a fully functional solution right out of the box.

The XPC SB81P completely redesigned cooling system includes Shuttle's an all-new ICE heat pipe module, advanced airflow dynamics and re-engineered cooling fans with linear control metrics. Taken together these technologies make the cooling integrated into the XPC SB81P one of the most-advanced available in a mass-market computer today.

Shuttle has once again raised the SFF performance bar while simultaneously refining ergonomics and style with the introduction of the XPC SB81P

Looks way bigger than their previous ones. It almost seems like they compromised their portability.

Doesn't look/feel quite shuttle, in my humble opinion the far worst design for a barebone, looks more like soltek's Qubic but uglier
