The XPC offers ample I/O connectivity, and then some. Features, such as the Clear CMOS button and Wireless LAN perforation, are Shuttle exclusives, and not seen in other small form factor computers.
The XPC's feature-rich back panel is perfectly complemented by an equally rich front panel. With USB 2.0, FireWire 400, earphones, and microphone built into this sexy front panel. Silent X Technology
Integrated Silent X cooling and noise reduction technologies deliver optimized cooling for exceptional stability, comfort and reliability. Optimized cooling features, including programmable smart fans and best-of-class airflow, make the XPC ideal for use in any setting - home, office, dorm - because it's "Super Quiet, Super Cool."
The Silent X concept is embodied in a number of discreet Shuttle technologies:
Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) Module
The Integrated Cooling Engine uses convection cooling to transfer heat away from the processor and other critical system components. Copper tubing - coated in nickel and filled with distilled water - efficiently channels heat away, providing highly-effective processor and case cooling.
Smart Fan
Smart Fan incorporates linear control metrics to provide optimal cooling. Under normal conditions, Smart Fan keeps fan speeds low, minimizing acoustic noise. When the load increases, Smart Fan increases fan speeds to provide optimal cooling. Users can customize Shuttle's Smart Fan settings to precisely match their desired temperature and fan speed metrics.
200 Watt Power Supply
This highly efficient PSU delivers enough power to support the modest configurations required the meet the need of a home of office workstation. Tested in our acoustic labs the Silent X 200W PSU operates significantly quieter than most competing power solutions.
Airflow
The XPC features more air intake points designed to keep the motherboard cool and stable. The underside edge is lined with intake points. Other intake points are also located on the underside of the machine to improve motherboard cooling.
