[btarunr]

Shuttle Inc., the market leader in the Mini-PC sector and manufacturer of Multi-Form-Factor solutions extends its portfolio with a new compact entertainment artist specifically designed to play back high-resolution Blu-ray media. The Shuttle XPC H7 7800H complete Mini-PC system is easy to use, stands for high processing power and space for expansion.

The Windows Vista based complete system includes a Blu-ray Combo drive, a card reader, hybrid TV tuner card, WLAN and a remote control. Based on the Shuttle XPC Barebone SN78SH7, this attractive Mini-PC solution barely measures 32.5 x 20.8 x 18.9 cm (DWH).



Users that want even higher performance than the built-in NVIDIA GeForce 8200 GPU already provides, can also equip the free PCI-Express X16 slot with an even larger graphics card. The heatpipe cooling system ensures the system runs quietly at maximum stability.

The very intuitively designed media centre interface of the pre-installed Windows Vista operating system is very easy to read on a television screen. Operation with the enclosed remote control is quick to learn and means this Shuttle Mini-PC can be instantly accessed from the sofa.

Technical specifications:

• Mini-PC Complete System is based on: Shuttle XPC Barebone SN78SH7
• Processor: AMD Athlon X2 6000+
• Memory: 2x 1GB DDR2-800
• Hard disk: 500GB, Serial-ATA II

8200+ = WIN for HD HTPC.

it even has an optical audio out, even though its somewhat hidden (its up the top of the case).
I cant actually fault it for a media PC, except the price.

I don't really like the build. If its going to use an AMD processor then why isn't it using the 780G chipset that can play back HD content with no problem and also adds the options for hybrid crossifre.

If its going to use a nvidia chipset then why not use a Intel CPU which has better power consumption and less heat generation and performs better. This build makes no sence to me.
