2005-03-29 - Cluboverclocker.com: "Recommended Award"

The American editors of ClubOC recommend the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P on account of its great scores in the areas of "Innovation and "Stability." Ratings in terms of performance and quality were excellent, too. "The SN25P is by far the best SFF system I've ever seen," claim its testers, giving the gaming rig an overall rating of 9.5 out of 10 points.

Looking back at earlier SFF-PCs you'll notice that much has changed since then. Those little boxes are no more for office use only. "Today's SFF PCs like the XPC SN25P is an incredibly strong system that delivers everything your big tower does, even high end gaming. Yes, I said high end gaming!"

With great performance one would expect great looks, and here too the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P doesn't
disappoint: "Shuttle has put quite a lot of effort into the design" and added a "feel of elegance" to it. Want connectivity? You got it: "The back side of the SN25P is quite amazing as it offers pretty much every media port you could possible ever want or need," add the editors of ClubOC. To help users get started, Shuttle provides an internal drive rack that slides right out the top for easy access to CPU and memory. Moreover, all the interior is tidied up very well. All cables are "pre-installed and routed for you, [so] Shuttle has really gone over the top with it."

Conclusion:

"It really is an amazing little system packed full of features you would never expect, not to mention far more
stable than older versions of the XPC," wrote the editors. "It appears that Shuttle has finally overcome the
heat issues that have plagued SFF systems. The SN25P is by far the best SFF system I've ever seen. ClubOC Recommended!"
