It’s about time Shuttle released a barebones system with an integrated touch-screen display. It’s called the Shuttle D10 and it comes with an embedded 7 inch display. Up until now, do-it-yourselfers have been modding Shuttle systems by placing their own touch-screen panel to the front of the system. Thankfully, Shuttle addresses this issue with the introduction of the D10.

This system makes an ideal HTPC system since it supports dual display technology. You can connect a large screen HDTV set to the system while simultaneously controlling the OS through the 7 inch display.

The Shuttle D10 barebone system features the following specs:

• Support Intel Core 2 Duo processor
• Intel G31 + ICH7 chipset

Shuttle is branching out a bit with the introduction of the Shuttle D Series D10 system. According to the press release, the D10 is a “digital home appliance” designed to be a standalone media center system. Standalone here means it comes with an embedded 7 inch touch panel that displays a media server gadget application designed to deliver various applications.

Shuttle claims that the D10 can be used in applications such as home surveillance simply by adding in surveillance software and hardware.

There will be three different versions of the graphical user interface powered by Linux or Windows. With the user interface, users will be able to access and control multimedia content via the Internet or intranet storage.

There really isn’t a whole lot on this device as of yet so I’ll reserve my thoughts for now. Truth is – doesn’t it look like a regular Shuttle SFF system with an embedded display? If so – it’s simply Shuttle trying to find a different target market for a product that they’re good at developing which is small form factor PCs.

One of the things I missed while being away in Vegas last week was Shuttle’s announcement of a new low cost $199 PC called the KPC Linux PC. According to News.com, the KPC will feature an Intel Celeron processor, an Intel 945GC chipset, 512MB of RAM, and either a 60 GB or 80GB hard drive. The system will not have an optical drive nor will it have a PCIe slot unfortunately. What it DOES have though is one cool looking chassis design with your choice of either red, blue, white, and black colors and a different icon design for each color.

Now if a pre-made system isn’t your thing, you could still go the route of making your own PC and Shuttle has you covered there as well. They are going to sell a $99 barebones version of the KPC Linux PC. You’ll be able to upgrade to an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 1GB of memory with the system. Both systems will be available near the end of the first quarter.

No offense to the Linux folks out there but I would be eyeing the KPC as a way to build a cheapo Windows Home Server box. Pop in 1GB of RAM, and 500GB HDD for what.. 150 bucks more and I should be able to build a capable and inexpensive Home Server box. Oh yes.. spend some money for a Windows Home Server license too.
