Shuttle goes to school
 Multimedia has entered nearly every home by now, but still cannot be found in many German classrooms. Humming cassette recorders, old video tapes and even older televisions are the only poor technical equipment still found at many schools in Germany.

Sleep better - with Shuttle XPCs
Everything is quiet. Outside there’s nothing but darkness and silence. No glaring lights, no buzzing machines. In other words, perfect conditions for sleep. So what do you do when you can’t? Presently one in ten adults in Germany suffers from insomnia, and the Sleep Laboratory in Schleswig (in North Germany) is taking a high-tech approach into finding out why.

Do it one more time Benny!
The DCMM (German Case Modding Championship) winner in 2004 and 2005 may have only achieved fifth place last year, but he’s determined to win back his crown. Armed with both a totally new concept, and a brand new Shuttle XPC Barebone, Benjamin Franz aka Benny, is confident of victory. Hours and hours of work and a mountain of scrap metal later, the result is phenomenal and worthy of the title.

Is that everything?
Every now and again new processors appear on the market that make everything that existed before them seem slow in comparison. This type of contest between individual CPUs must leave the scientists of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group (T-6) smiling to themselves. While computing power in the desktop segment is still expressed in terms of Gigaflops, they are already counting in Teraflops.

Shuttle XPCs shine in "Glassy Labs"
PC Professionell and their "Glassy Labs" are represented at all important IT trade fairs. From "CeBIT" in Hannover, "Systems" in Munich and "IFA" in Berlin to even "Computex" in Taiwan interested visitors can get an idea of the extensive hardware tests of the German IT-Magazine. Since the PC equipment of the "Glassy Labs" needs to be easy to transport, PC Professionell opted for compact SFF barebones from Shuttle.

Shuttle XPC manages 2nd rank
Oliver König smiles brightly. No wonder that he just came second in the category „Most spectacular PC“ at the German Casemodding Championships („Deutsche Casemodding Meisterschaften“) with a Shuttle XPC. But why do case modders like him bank on Shuttle XPCs?

Power lies in silence
Concentrated studying is not possible in a noisy environment. This applies especially for Bremen, Bremen Lehe to be exact. This is where the Public and University Library of Bremen (Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Bremen / SuUB) is resident. It provides literature and information for the University of Bremen (Universität Bremen) and any of Bremen’s colleges and academies (Bremer Hochschulen) including the college of Bremerhaven (Hochschule Bremerhaven). As it is required in any libraries: silence is the key for effective studying.

But what’s all this got to do with Shuttle XPCs? Find out here...
