ELMSHORN, Germany, February 17 /PRNewswire/ --

- New Heatpipe-Cooling Technology With Vapor-Chamber / SX58H7 for the First Time With 500 Watt Power Supply

Shuttle Inc., the market leader in the Mini-PC segment and manufacturer of Multi-Form-Factor solutions today announces a new model for Intel Core i7 processors based on the socket 1366. The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 uses the high-performance Intel X58 Express chipset with ICH10R Southbridge.

This new flagship targets gamers and enthusiasts and thus spearheads Shuttle's squad of high-performance Mini-PCs. Its highly polished surfaces and high-quality finishes measure only 32.5 x 20.8 x 19 cm (LWH) in size.

Two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots can take up to two graphics cards in a single-slot design or a dual-slot graphics card. With a maximum of 16 GB DDR3 Memory in Triple-Channel Mode (3+1), distributed over four memory banks, this barebones PC is a match for the most resource-hungry applications. The aluminium case can house up to two hard disks to run in Serial-ATA-II Raid mode. Maximum accessibility is guaranteed through two Gigabit network interfaces with load balancing and failover-function.

Applications from the professional sector and even brand-new games do not present any problem at all for the XPC Barebone SX58H7, says Tom Seiffert, Head of Marketing PR at Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH. The Vapor-Chamber technology used for the first time in the new 'I.C.Evo'-Heatpipe increases the effectiveness of the cooling system while reducing noise development at the same time.

Shuttle's new high-performance cube is driven by a 500 Watt power supply with 80-PLUS-Bronze certification. The sole use of long-life solid capacitors ensures highest reliability even under load.

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58H7 will be available in the end of Q1/2009. Shuttle's recommended retail price is EUR 483 (ex VAT). Suppliers can be found on the European Shuttle website via the Shuttle StoreLocator http://www.shuttle.eu/buy.
