ExtremeTech has posted up a review of the latest Shuttle XPC system – the SN27P2. If you’re not familiar with the box – here’s what the box supports:

  • AMD Athlon 64 X2 and FX Series processors
  • NVIDIA nForceR 570 Ultra MCP
  • PCI Express x16 interface
  • NVIDIA Native Gigabit Ethernet
  • NVIDIA FirstPacket Technology
  • NVIDIA MediaShield Storage
  • 8GB DDR2 RAM support
  • Realtek ALC882 HD Audio
  • Advanced I/O
  • Integrated Cooling Engine
  • Smart Fan

This is one serious box folks and don’t be fooled by the small size of the chassis. Inside you get a 350 watt PSU which should be enough for most of your needs. This could actually make a nice small server box with the built in support for up to 8GB of RAM. So what’s the verdict on this bad boy?

If you’re craving a high-performance, small-form-factor gaming PC that looks good and doesn’t make much noise, then Shuttle’s new Nforce 570-based system is about as good as it gets.
