Shuttle is one of the first companies I encountered offering cube-sized barebone PCs and continues to impress in this particular sector. The latest addition to their product line-up is the XPC SH170R6 which supports Intel’s Skylake processors, and four DDR4 DIMM slots. Additionally, there is a 32 Gb/s M.2 slot, four SATA 6 Gb/s ports and an 80 Plus Bronze rated 300W power supply. This should be perfect for a HTPC or non-gaming, portable PC.
In terms of rear I/O, the system has 2 DisplayPort connectors, six USB 3.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet, eSATA, HDMI, CMOS reset button and standard audio jacks.
The motherboard is a custom-design and based on Intel’s H170 chipset. As you can from the board layout, there is a single x16 gen 3 PCI-Express slot and a x4. On another note, the motherboard opts for reliable capacitors, Mini-PCIe and enough room to easily work around the CPU socket.
On the front section, there is room to mount a 5.25-inch optical bay and two 3.5-inch drives. The barebones system has an estimated price of €258 excluding VAT and should be available later this month. It’s always fascinating to see barebone PCs which help novices to choose compatible components.
