Hardware-Test.dk: "Bronze Award"
 The leading Danish IT website Hardware-Test.dk recently tested the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN21G5 concluding "if you are looking for a cheap barebone for the homeoffice SN21G5 is worth a shot."
Especially aimed at home and business users who are looking for an affordable SFF PC, the editors of the Danish IT website Hardware-Test.dk took a closer look at the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN21G5. The SFF PC for Athlon AMD X2 processors and equipped with NVIDIA GeForce 6100 GPU and NVIDIA nForce 410 MCP meeting the requirements of its target group: "The SN21G5 contains what you will need for home office use, and if you still think something is missing there is room left for pci/pcie expansion cards," explain the editors also pointing out the expandability of this little cube.
Having taken off the case, the editors found "all cables already in place inside" the box. A tidy interior that is essential for easy and fast setup. On the outside the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN21G5 comes with the G5 chassis design whose looks are "still charming."
Moving on to performance features the Shuttle XPC Barebone succeeded in impressing the editors as well: "The overall performance is good without trying to set any worlds records. The onboard gfx is not meant for Quake4 and the likes, but for home/office use there is plenty of power." With a pricing of around 300 Euros, "this machine is a bargain" convincing the editors with its value for money.
Conclusion: "If you are looking for a cheap barebone for the homeoffice SN21G5 is worth a shot." Bronze Award
