2005-04-08 - Noticias3d: "Calidad Award"

"We were impressed with its configuration just before assembly," wrote the editors of the Spanish website Noticias3d. They took a closer look at the Shuttle XPC Barebones SN25P, and their first impression was correct. "As we began to assemble the components, our guess was right." It was an accumulation of positive aspects that made the editors honor the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P with the "Calidad Award," the award for highest quality.

"The easy assembly and good workmanship made us like the SN25P even more," report the editors who were especially impressed with the assembly of the SN25P. "It's incredible how Shuttle could design such an amazing interior, room for up to three hard disks." But that's not all that drove the editors of Noticias3d wild. Also very important for SFF PCs is to keep the noise level down. How about that? This little cube did well here too: "Having Cool'n'Quiet function activated, you won't take notice of it at all, also applying to CPU fan with activated Smart Fan." As everybody knows the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P is the world's first SFF PC based on NVIDIA's nForce4 chipset. That's why the editors wanted to know if it could meet their expectations of performance: "We have
to say that all results were very good, proven true in the conclusion as well."

Conclusion:

"All we can say is that we had a powerful SFF PC with outstanding quality and good workmanship for test. To sum it up, we award it the "Calidad Award" for excellent quality."

Pros:

• Room for up to three hard disk
• Overclocking
• Very silent cooling
• Good for use of high-end graphics cards
• Appealing and robust design
