Shuttle Inc, best known for their small form factor PC product line, is at it again – this time introducing a new series built around the VIA Nano processor called the XS29 series.

The new series, which is a part of their Embedded Slim series lineup, consists of two new models – the XS29 and XS29F. The XS29 utilizes the VIA Nano L Series processor while the XS29F is a fanless design utilizing the VIA Nano U Series processor. Given that the XS29F is fanless, you’ll be able to enjoy a noise-free, dust-free, and maintenance-free system. 

These systems are ideal for individuals looking to perform light processing work such as web surfing, checking email, working on documents etc. while also maintaining great power efficiency and conservation.

Shuttle will show off the XS29 series at the upcoming Computex show in Taipei Taiwan with availability also expected in June.

Oh and in case you’re wondering why one would want a water-cooled small form factor system.. it’s all about performance, cooler temps, and of course, little to no sound. Yes.. all things that hard-core gamers want.
