![]() AOpen has been active with socket 479 SFF systems in the interim the somewhat controversial and tiny Mini PC (Mac mini look-alike) was unveiled at Computex, and recently released the almost as small MZ915-M, based on the newer 915M chipset, the same as in the SD11G5. AOpen beat them to it by half a year with the EY855-II, which we reviewed last spring. Shuttle is not the first to release a socket 479 SFF system. ![]() The SD11G5 is the first model since the A64-939 based SN95G5 ( also reviewed in March) to appeal to the quiet PC market. ![]() One example is the socket-775 SB81P reviewed in March, which allows the use of a double-width PCIe VGA card. Through much of this year, Shuttle appears to have been going after the LAN party gaming market with larger SFF models that allow big, hot, high-end VGA cards to be used. It is reminiscent of the Zen ST62K, which remains Shuttle’s smallest SFF model and the quietest thus far that model is also fitted with a fanless external brick power supply but has no VGA-specific expansion slot. The combination of a fanless external brick power supply and the cool Pentium M platform means that the SD11G5 has instant panache with those who seek quiet PCs. It is Shuttle’s first Pentium-M system, fitted into the G5 chassis, which is among the smaller ones in the current Shuttle Small Form Factor (SFF) lineup. Is of particular interest to the SPCR community because it is a socket 479 system designed around the Pentium M processor. The Shuttle XPC SD11G5 was first shown early this summer at Computex in Taipei.
