Small-form-factor (SFF) PC specialist Shuttle today launched the XPC SD11G5, a silent PC system based on the Intel low-power Pentium M processor and 915GM chipset.
Utilizing a single fan design coupled with Shuttle’s ICE heat-pipe technology, the XPC SD11G5 system offers efficient cooling of internal components with little cost in noise. Testing of the XPC SD11G5 configured with standard PC components reveals that the system produces less than 24dB of noise, comparing to the 32dB level produced by typical XPCs and more than 40dB for standard PC systems.
Shuttle stated its strategy in designing its mainstream silent PC was to keep it simple, or as the company puts it, KISS (Keep it simple, Stupid).
