Thanks to the amazingly versatile Athlon 64x2 processor, the G2 6800 scales easily from everyday multimedia applications to 3D gaming. You’ll also get enhanced virus protection, the XPC’s standard whisper-quiet operation, and plenty of high-performance graphics and audio features.
The original G2 chassis is the standard by which other small form factor computers are measured. This G2 general purpose chassis finds the optimal balance between small size and upgrade ability, while still offering exceptional performance and functionality.
The integrated media ports on G2's front panel have been redesigned for better functionality. The space between the USB 2.0 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 COOLING ENGINE Integrated Silent X cooling and noise reduction technologies deliver optimized cooling to ensure exceptional stability, comfort and reliability. Optimized cooling features, smart fan programming and best of class airflow means whether at home on the desk or in the living room, the XPC is "Super Quiet, Super Cool."
The Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) included in the XPC has been purpose designed for whisper quiet operation. The ICE heat-pipe module uses convection cooling to transfer heat away from the processor. Copper tubing, coated in nickel and filled with distilled water provides the conduit through which heat passes to a radiator. A quiet, speed controlled 92mm ducted fan covers the radiator, providing both processor cooling and case exhaust. Every XPC uses this patented cooling technology to prevent heat damage and deliver some of the quietest computers available.
SMART FAN To further improve XPC thermal and acoustic performance, Shuttle XPC's include Smart Fan functionality to intelligently monitor and control the cooling fans. Smart Fan incorporates linear control metrics to provide optimal cooling. Under normal conditions, Smart Fan keeps the fan speed low, minimizing acoustic noise. When the load increases, Smart Fan increases the fan speed to provide optimal cooling.
Up to 250 WATT POWER SUPPLY The G2 Series features the “Super Quiet, Super Cool” Silent X 250W(G2 3200) 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.
