XPC SN41G2 / SN41G2V2

Größe allein ist nichts! Im Verhältnis zu anderen PCs erscheint der LAN-Spiele-PC winzig. In puncto Leistung ist er aber ein ganz Großer.
"Unhandliche PC-Tower zur LAN-Party zu schleppen hat mit unserem LAN-Spiele PC ein Ende. Denn der Rechner ist klein, leicht und bietet Spielepower satt. Unser LAN-Spiele-PC musste den Spagat zwischen akzeptabler Mobilität und genügend Leistung auch für die kommende Spielegeneration schaffen. Die ideale Basis dafür sahen wir im Shuttle XPC SN41G2. (...)

Fazit: Klein, aber oho! Mit unserem handlichen LAN-Spiele-PC stecken Sie auf jeder LAN-Party leistungsmäßig so manchen Bigtower-Boliden in die Tasche. Zur guten Performance kommen die hohe Zahl an Schnittstellen, das geringe Gewicht und die kompakten Maße hinzu. Rüstet man sich zudem mit der für 35,-€ als Zubehör erhältlichen XPC-Tasche aus, kann man der nächsten LAN-Party entspannt entgegenblicken."

PC Shopping magazine uses Shuttle XPC SN41G2 as basis for its "LAN gaming PC"

Picture: "In relation to other PCS the LAN gaming  PC appears tiny. When it comes to performance, however,  it is like a very large one."

"With our LAN gaming PC you need no longer drag your unwieldy Tower PC to the LAN party.  Because the computer is small, lightweight and offers full gaming power. Our LAN gaming PC should meet both requirements: easy to carry and sufficient power, even for the coming generation of games. We think that Shuttle XPC SN41G2 is the optimal basis for it. (...) 

Conclusion: Small but wow! With our handy LAN Gaming PC you can beat many big-tower giants at every LAN party when it comes to performance. In addition, it also offers many connectors, low weight and compact dimensions. You can also buy the optional XPC carry bag for 35€, then you can go to the next LAN party very relaxed."

Make an elegant PC system with a barebone
(...) combined with an attractive design these systems are suitable for more than only office use, for example as DVD player in the living room. Therefore we present two products which are very small (...) the mini-barebones SB51G and SN41G2 from Shuttle (...)

With an optional card reader the Shuttle become a presentation machine for your digital photos.

One TV card and a DVD drive are enough to upgrade your PC to a digital multimedia system. Picture: The Mini-PC as video recorder.

Conclusion: Well this has been our first every Shuttle XPC system we have personally been privileged to test and I must say I was beyond impressed. I have seen many reviews of this unit and thought that it was a good contender, but having it in your hands to test gives you a better prospective.
While cramped, Shuttle has allowed plenty of space for CPU cooler, memory modules, Hard Disk, Floppy Disk and optical drives with enough room for easy placement of cables. (...) Performance wise with onboard graphics, fantastic compared to original nForce systems, with external graphics, just as good as a custom built system.
In all, this is one PC that is beyond words that I can express to give my praise for this unit.
+ Fast
+ Stable
+ Extremely portable
+ Onboard Firewire
+ Onboard Soundstorm

Plus, they're bare-bones systems that come almost fully built, ready to accept your choice of CPU, RAM, hard disk and optical drives. Front-panel audio, USB 2 and FireWire make life even easier, and there are plenty of accessories to personalise your box. (...) more than enough to make you the centre of attention at LAN parties. The highlight of Shuttle's range is the SN41G2, based on the nForce2 chipset. (...) performance isn't compromised in any way. (...) In our tests, we had no heat issues when using an Athlon XP 2700+ (...)

Conclusion: Recently, barebones have become very popular. For many purposes is such little product the ideal solution. Since many components are already integrated on the mainboard, the user have to add only few components. Usually, the 3D performance of onboards graphics is weak. The barebone system Shuttle XPC SN41G2, which we have in test here, is equipped with the nForce2 chipset and therefore it offers some extra 3D power. Those people who want still more 3D performance can add an other graphics card. The Shuttle XPC SN41G2 is very similar with other Shuttle barebones which we have tested in the past. There are no real drawbacks with this product (...)

Shuttle bietet mit dem XPC SN41G2 ein modernes Basissystem für AMD CPUs an, welches kaum Wünsche offen lässt. (...) Alle Komponenten funktionieren tadellos und so macht es Spaß, vor einem solchen System zu sitzen. Wem die Graphikleistung nicht reicht, dem steht es frei, den vorhandenen AGP Slot mit einer leistungsstarken Graphikkarte zu bestücken. (...) Der XPC ist auch eine günstige Alternative zum Notebook, wenn dieses wegen seiner Kompaktheit und nicht wegen des netzunabhängigen Betriebs gewünscht ist. Mit einer guten Graphikkarte ausgestattet, macht der XPC auf jeder LAN-Party eine gute Figur, selbst eine schicke Ledertasche und leuchtende Frontblenden sind erhältlich. (...)
