2005-04-12 - Hardcoreware: SN25P - "Wow... Just, wow!"
 Hardcoreware, an American hardware website for hardcore gamers, had a top-notch barebone for test: the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P. To tell you in short: They were shocked how big that small form factor was when it came to performance. The editors said "Wow… Just, wow!" and awarded the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P with the "I AM HARDCORE" Editor's Choice Award.
At first the editors of the US website Hardcoreware took a closer look at the interior of that gaming rig: "As you'll see, Shuttle designed the P chassis to be just as big as necessary to accommodate large video cards, heatsinks, and hard drives, but maintained ease of installation."
As the editors set the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN25P up to a fully-configured system, they could just say: "I have to admit, my jaw hit the floor when I sat back and gazed upon this small form factor system featuring over 1TB of hard drive space. Wow.. just, wow."
After some impressive benchmarks, Hardcoreware was sure: "The SN25P is easily the most impressive gaming SFF system I've ever seen."
