Anyone has a Shuttle XPC?

[mrpink]

thinking of building a small pc ... has anybody tried this?

[FrankDrebin]

OK siya brother.

PRO:
Space saver
Nice cooling result
Japorms
Impressive PSU

CON:
Cost
Fad

[mrpink]

space saving talaga habol ko which is why i'm thinking of small form factor (SFF) cases ... Shuttle palang nakikita ko sa mga shops na nagbebenta ng SFF ..

[karlbo]

iniipunan ko na rin ito eh... it cost around 17-27k depending on the specs. pero MOBO palang yun and casing + keyboard and mouse... wala pang HDD, memory. Yung Video card, NIC, sound may built in na din and meron ng package sa 25K. May entertainment package or audio package na rin kung gusto mo. pero yun nga lang MOBO palang yun.

so if you'll compute it:

17-27K MOBO, video card (optional), nic (optional), soundcard (optional)
+ HDD
+ memory
+ Monitor ( better get the LCD type 15" aoc grey black is 10.5K)
========

damn.. mahal na rin.. heheh yoko i compute.. ipon ipon muna ko... hehehe

[mrpink]

yep .. pero cool siya tignan ..depending on the model .. kasing mahal na siya ng mga highend mobo+case+psu+cooling+ave.video/sound cards .. di ko lang alam kung matibay ..

1 IDE slot for floppy and 1 for HDD single output. dapat gawin mo na na DUO kasi ang built-in niya ay isa lang ang output. so palitan mo para dalawa
+
1 SATA cable (blue one)

CAPACITY:

1 HDD
1 Floppy drive
1 CD DRIVE
2 slots for memory

yun lang ang kaya niya.. So, if i were you. tanggalin mo yung floppy drive mag USB key ka nalang + add additional HDD.

masikip yung loob. compact na masyado pero well ventilated kasi gawa ang xpc na makakahinga pa rin siya kahit compact siya. malakas din yung fan na nakakabit sa likod niya.

I have a shuttle xpc at home. sk43g entry level. very convenient gamitin at sobra luwag lalo na pag i-partner mo sa 15" LCD monitor.

I also bought shuttle dvd rw yun aluminum bezzle para match na match sa aluminum casing.

masikip lang mag-assemble sa loob but after that ok na gamitin kahit san ko ilipat sa bahay madali lang.

ok sya if you're doing like multi-media applications like firewire. kasi built-in na sa xpc, so cable na lang bilhin mo, you can connect your firewire cable videocam at home na din.

pero yun mini-keyboard/ optical mouse/speakers that come with it, wala kwenta.
didnt use kasi ang hirap gamitin and sobrang low ang build quality, and the speakers are at par lang dun sa tig 100 na speakers na available sa malls.

here's a sample nun sa akin. I bought it around 10k sa PC Shack last Nov. 2k5. sila yun distro dito

[mrpink]

oldblue: i thought pc shack didn't sell directly and only sold through dealers .. nagkakandahirap pa ako kausapin yung salesman sa pc corner ..

[jeff]

mas maganda focus nemesis na case atleast ikaw makakapili ng board(matx) na ilalagay mo plus mas cheaper 4k lang w/ 350w psu and upgradable pa.

[mrpink]

looking at the drive bay .. it looks a lot wider .. and i'm not one that like to look at computer guts .. although yung makapili ka ng sarili mong board is a good selling point ..

This is my next project as a replacement for our Athlon XP 1700+ maybe towards the end of this year or early next year....

video card nowadays are being replaced again to PCi.. but now its called the PCI-Express..

meron din slot 2 for pci if im not mistaken...

magkaiba yung ibe cable nung HDD and floppy.. maliit yung sa floppy kesa sa HDD..

hmmm.. ganda talaga... it really fits with a 15" LCD aoc grey black hehehe tsk tsk

IMO you can do away with the floppy drive, almost all the new boards can do a CD boot.

Space saver talaga, pero limited ang upgradability, lahat ng magiging add-ons mo external na. :D

yup... sabi ko nga.. pwede naman gamitan ng usb key or additional HDD nalang yung space for the floppy drive..

sadly you cant. lalo na pag install ka ng SATA drives. I just bought 250GB SATA this week, yun xp hinahanap sa diskette yun SATA Drivers. tried booting using bootable CD and Bootable USB Drive, no success!

bad trip 'tong SATA na to talaga. pero kung naka Vista na daw puwede na daw.
