Shuttle SX58H7 PRO Barebone Black (S1366)

The Shuttle XPC Barebone SX58 in its third edition “H7 Pro” offers an array of impressive new connectors. Internal serial ATA hard disks can now operate at a speed of 6 Gbit/s. The speed of external devices has also been increased so that connections with new USB 3.0 ports allow data transmission speeds of 5 Gbit/s. The 2011 version of this Mini-PC powerhouse is once again made completely out of aluminium. A 500W, 80-PLUS-certified power supply unit provides a reliable energy supply for the latest dual-slot graphics cards and even for Intel Core i7 processors with up to six cores. Effective cooling of the entire Mini-PC is ensured by an intelligent heatpipe cooling system with fully automatic control.

  
The fastest connection to external peripheral devices available to date
The USB 3.0 connectors of this model allow for data transfer of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s). This enables external devices such as USB hard disks to be connected and run at nearly the same speed as their internal siblings. USB 3.0 is downward compatible so that also devices of previous USB generations can be hooked up.
       
The interface for the fastest of memory media
Internal drives to be used inside this Mini-PC can transfer data at a speed of up to 6 Gbit/s. Hard drives thus run significantly faster and brand-new media technologies such as SSDs can use their full potential. Be sure to look for SATA 6 Gbit/s.
       
High-performance processor from the market leader
The faster, intelligent multi-core technology of the Intel Core i7 processor employs its processing power exactly where it's most urgently needed, providing an incredible breakthrough in PC performance. This probably makes it the best Desktop processor in the world.
       
8-channel HD audio
The superior high-definition sound with digital SPDIF output not only gives that perfect cinema feeling at home, it also offers optimal sound quality for your Skype VOIP telephone conferencing. Conveniently located ports ensure ultimate user friendliness.
       
Dual-slot graphic cards? No problem!
The creative engineers at Shuttle have worked out how to fit large and incredibly powerful dual-slot graphics cards into this compact PC. The special dimensions of the cards and the unusual fan size cause no problems at all in this Mini-PC.
       
Intelligent cooling
Shuttle's patented Heatpipe Cooling technology with variable speed control automatically ensures maximum system stability and quiet operation in this aluminium Shuttle Mini-PC. Instead of swirling around the chassis, as is the case with conventional solutions, the warm air is specifically transferred out of the chassis.
       
Cleverly hidden
In this model the ports and drives are hidden behind moveable panels that offer ideal protection from dust and ensure a clean, harmonious look. Not everyone needs to be able to see just what your Mini-PC can do.
       
Breathtaking 3D graphics and increased screen area
Really impressive 3D graphics performance can be achieved with modern graphics cards in the two PCI-E 2.0 slots. Gamers appreciate the high frame rates when using two graphics cards linked by CrossFire and professional users welcome the benefit of up to four monitors.
       
Almost limitless memory
In this age of terabyte hard disks, three internal ports with SATA2 offer almost unlimited hard disk space. A major benefit here is that the Serial-ATA cables interfere far less with the air flow than PATA-Standard cables.
       
External eSATA port
With this interface external hard drives can reach the same speeds as inbuilt versions. Just give it a try.
       
For a longer life and more system stability
All the components of the highly integrated mainboard of this PC are fitted with modern solid capacitors, which offer six times the lifespan of normal capacitors.
       
A match for software heavyweights
With up to 16 GB of triple-channel DDR3 memory, this compact aluminium powerhouse is able to cope with the most demanding professional applications and all levels of complex games quickly and without breaking sweat.
       
Generous supply of USB ports
You can never have enough of those versatile USB ports. This Shuttle Mini-PC offers 10 ports, with further ports for internal expansions located on the mainboard.
       
Pre-assembled cabling saves time
The most important power and data cables are already routed and just have to inserted into the relevant components. This saves valuable time when setting up the system.
       
Full support for Windows 7
Shuttle provides all the necessary drivers to ensure the smooth installation of Windows 7, and the enhanced 3D “Aero” interface runs without problem thanks to the integrated state-of-the-art graphics processor.
       
Now with improved airflow
The latest Mini-PCs feature more air intake points to improve the inflow of cool air. The size and position of these intake points on the chassis cover and underside have been chosen to allow optimal cooling of all critical components, resulting in increased stability and longer lifespan.

*) Overclocking Warning
Please note there is a certain risk involved with overclocking, including adjusting the setting in the BIOS or using third-party overclocking tools. Overclocking may affect your system stability or even cause damage of the components and devices of your system. It is done at your own risk and expense. Shuttle cannot be held responsible for possible damage caused by overclocking.
**) Teaming Mode
The teaming function allows you to group both available network adapters together to function as a single adapter - a method of creating a virtual LAN. The benefit of this approach is that it enables load balancing and failover.
