Model: Shuttle SB83G5
Features
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (GMA900) -- Intel's new integrated graphics architecture raises the bar for integrated graphics. With PCI-E x1 improved bandwidth, GMA900 also features 333MHz graphics core and 32bpp True Color Support for sharper and more detailed images. In addition, DX8/DX9 support and enhanced 3D performance features such as software Vertex Shader and Shadow Mapping mean the GMA900 delivers great 2D performance and key 3D performance.
- Southbridge Integration -- The ICH6-R brings next generation I/O capabilities such as 4 Serial ATA headers with RAID striping and mirroring functionality . Further, integrated 8-channel audio delivers 100dB plus surround sound audio, while (8) USB 2.0 ports (FireWireR 400 from VT6207) provide great connectivity.
- Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) Module -- The Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) included in the SB83G5 improves on the previous XPC ICE design. The ICE module's thermal resistance has been decreased to an amazing .16oC/W. This is more half the thermal resistance of first generation XPCs and almost 1/3 rd that of Intel's BTX standard. Further, the heat exchange surface area has been increased as have the ICE fins. In addition this model sports a huge 92mm cooling fan to quietly push more air out the back of the case. The Integrated Cooling Engine uses convection (liquid) cooling to transfer heat away from the processor and other critical system components. Copper tubing, coated in nickel and filled with distilled water provides the conduit through which heat is radiated out of the chassis.
- Smart Fan -- As mentioned the XPC SB83G5 features a new 92mm Smart Fan, capable of 50CFM. This fan features a 4-pin header, i.e PWM spec, and be linearly controlled in BIOS. This fan is designed to spin relatively slowly, depending on the processor using and the heat generated.
- 250 Watt Power Supply -- The SB83G5 features the "Super Quiet, Super Cool" Silent X 250W PSU. Tested in our acoustic lab from a distance of 50cm to create an environment similar to actual usage (many competitors take measurements at 1M), the PSU operates at just 32dB.
- Airflow -- The XPC SB83G5 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.
- Stealthed Drive Doors -- G5's clean facia is thanks to three well-integrated stealth bay covers. The optical drive, floppy drive and front media ports can all be hidden from view when not in use - providing superior style and visual appeal. The integrated media ports on SB83G5's front panel have been redesigned for better functionality. The space between the USB ports has been enlarged to make room for devices such as digital camera and thumb drives to be installed at the same time. Also the line in jack has been moved to the back panel, providing a neat and functional finish.
- Integrated Cable Management -- Starting with the SN85G4 (production version), all new XPC's will ship with integrated cable management to ease installation. IDE cables will be pre-installed, and power leads will be wrapped and clipped to the chassis. The SB83G5 goes one step further and integrates one serial ATA cables for the rack HDD.

Based on the Intel 915G and ICH6-R chipset, the SB83G5 delivers cutting-edge features and wicked-fast performance. Supporting new to market socket 775 Prescott processors, the 915G chipset will support a fast 800MHz FSB. In addition, this machine is equipped with a dual-channel DDR 400 memory controller and room for two RAM modules. Furthermore, integrated PCI Express x16 interface delivers twice the bandwidth of 8X AGP.
The XPC SB83G5 proudly wears the Silent X technology logo. The Silent X concept is embodied in a number of discreet Shuttle technologies, including; A Silent X PSU, Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE); and Intelligently-engineered airflow mechanics.
"Silent X is a world-class family of cooling and noise-reduction technologies exclusive to the Shuttle XPC," said Jonathon Yi, vice-president of product management, Shuttle. "The Silent X logo is your assurance that Shuttle XPC's are 'Super Quiet, Super Cool.'"
The XPC SB83G5 uses the new G5 chassis. Based on the Shuttle Original "G" chassis design, the G5 has been overhauled for the style conscious user. The G5 makes a number of improvements over the earlier G and G2 series chassis, including:
