Shuttle's X50V2 all-in-one barebones PC gets passively cooled, passively hits online retail
When you've got an entire desktop PC inches from your eardrums, it helps if the machine is dead silent... or as close to that dream as possible. That's why we're pleased that Shuttle's new XPC X50V2 -- last spotted wearing a toga -- is now on sale with a completely fanless design for silent cooling. Since CES, the all-in-one has also gained legacy parallel and serial ports (you know, for your Zip drive) and room for up to 4GB of memory, but hasn't lost any of its dual-core Atom D510 1.66GHz goodness or its school lunchbox charm. Though we haven't heard official word about US availability, Shuttle's domestic website places the MSRP at $400, and online retailers including Newegg already show the tethered touchscreen tablet in stock.
Shuttle outfits X50 V2 and J series desktops with Clash of the Titans regalia
Are you a fan of epic, multidimensional cinema extravaganzas? Well, Shuttle wants to help you show off your fandom with these here limited edition Clash of the Titans tie-in machines. The new J series entertainment SFF PCs will come with the most appealing package, which includes the colorful front faceplate above, while the Pine Trail-packing X50 V2 will be preloaded with wallpapers and imagery from the forthcoming flick. We like to mock such blatantly commercial efforts, but if you really are into your Greek mythology and want a small computer that can fit Core i7 CPUs and dual-GPU setups (SX58J3), why not? Best of all, you can even win one of these, so after you've read the PR after the break, hit the source link to find out how.
Shuttle gets extra official with luggable X50 all-in-one PC
Shuttle wasn't exactly tip-toeing around this one at CES in January, but the company has now gone the extra mile and gotten fully official with its new X50 all-in-one PC, which takes square aim at the likes of ASUS' Eee Top and other Atom-based nettops. As with ASUS' offering, this one packs a reasonably-sized 15.6-inch 1,366 x 768 touchscreen, along with the more nettop-minded Atom 330 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam and microphone, and a generous five USB 2.0 ports, among other standard fare. Unfortunately, it still doesn't look like this one is available to order just yet but, unless something major has changed since CES, you should be able to pick one up by the end of the month for about $500.[Via SlashGear]
