 Today we will be unboxing a shuttle xpc that is just to say one of their small form factor pcs so shuttles been making a name for themselves for many many years making systems custom systems even barebone systems whether it's complete comes with all the stuff or not complete doesn't come with all the stuff they are building small boxes small motherboards and small power supplies non-standard smaller than you can build on your own and that is their advantage so they are able to provide these custom solutions that you can then add whatever you want to and you can have a pretty neat little system out of it so this particular one right here is the sh67h3 based on the name we can surmise that it uses the h67 chipset which means that you have full support for all the latest intel core i3 core i5 and core i7 processors on the lg1155 platform ah that's what it says here h67 express chipset supports up to 95 watt cpus which is the maximum i believe available on that platform dual channel ddr3 up to 1333 megahertz is supported up to 16 gigs hdmi and dvi are both supported remember the h67 has on board video but does not support the unlocked overclocking feature of the k series processors so watch out for that if you are planning on overclocking this solution probably isn't for you it's more for low power consumption low footprint small footprint type systems alright one pcie 16x slot so you can build a pretty decent gaming machine in this support for usb3 and sata 3 6 gigabit per second as well as 7.1 high definition audio expansion capabilities 2 3.5 inch hard drive bays 1 5.25 inch bay 80 plus 300 watt power supply so that's going to be enough for pretty much whatever you'd want to add to it remember this is a smaller motherboard there's not a lot of room for expansion a 300 watt power supply is going to easily deal with that cpu and then pretty decent peripheral are pretty decent components in terms of ram and any expansion cards as well as a decent video card so let's just take it out of the box here and have a look at what there is to see i don't think i've ever unboxed a shuttle on my channel before although i've been following their products for a long time and i do find them quite interesting although i've never had cause to build one for myself i have been tempted many times just because they're cool little things and it's uh it was fascinating to me especially when they launched their x58 xpc that you could put such a ridiculous amount of power in such a small package alright so here we are here's the sh67 and you know what you're probably going to have to give me a minute here although hold on give me a sec i might be able to figure this out relatively quickly because i do want to take off the actually no give me a second got gloves the reason for that this brushed aluminum finish i love this finish but i also hate it because it looks fantastic but it is a fingerprint magnet and it's almost impossible to remove fingerprints from it so i'd rather not get any on it in the first place so i've taken off the cover you can see there are vents in the sides got a very nice overall finish to it it seems to be made of aluminum so yeah very nice very nice indeed alright actually let's have a quick look at the front of the case so we've got eSATA usb combo port two usb 3.0 ports a microphone port headphone port as well as a reset switch there's also you gotta be kidding me where's the where's the power switch i'm sure it's somewhere hold on it just a minute okay give me a sec power switch is over here it was hiding from me a little silver button up here okay we found it it's all good alright in here we have some do not eat don't eat it okay here's our five and a quarter inch expansion bay here's our two three and a half inch base so you can put a pretty decent amount of storage in here even though it's a tiny little case here are all the power supply cables which i will show you in a minute here we go so what do we got oh look at that they've custom wired in the SATA cables already so the SATA cables are included one two SATA cables and then you can see they've actually run them up here to the top corner so what that means is you'll be able to easily plug these into the back of any devices here now those are the SATA oh you can't see what kind of SATA they are but here are a couple more SATA ports should you so desire them we've also got oh there's some pretty interesting stuff in here so look here's a little laptop style PCIe 1x slot so you could use that for a wireless card for example if you wanted to run wireless on your xpc machine okay here i want to move these out oh yeah no there's your 4 DDR3 slot supporting up to 16 gigs of dual channel DDR3 you can see the 24 pin power connector has been wired in at the very other side there and here are all of our front panel connectors are all already wired in so basically what a barebones does is it allows people who aren't necessarily comfortable building their own system from scratch to skip all the difficult stuff motherboard mounting power supply connections front panel connections and all you got to do is plug in your ram plug in your cpu plug in your graphics card and your drives and you're ready to go all right speaking of the cpu you can see that there is a custom cooler on it so you've got some fins on the top okay oh it says warning do not use a cpu with power consumption level over 95 watts because that's what this cooler is validated for okay you're going to want to remove these four screws and you can access those by removing these screws and pulling out the drive mounting okay and then the way that it's actually cooled is by heat pipes and the whole system is cooled by one really no two fans so there's a 192 millimeter fan here that's a nice thick fan good static pressure and then that's running off of a radiator style cooler here in the back so that's your exhaust fan and then your power supply this is an 80 plus bronze 300 watt power supply also has a fan so that's two fans for the entire system three if you put in a high-end graphics card so let's have a look at what we've got for pci or rather yeah pcie power connector so we have a single pcie 6 pin so that means that you're probably going to be limited to something along the lines of a gtx 550 ti although there's no reason the 300 watt power supply couldn't support a 560 ti as long as space permits you know what i'm going to go ahead and i'm going to i'm going to grab a graphics card here and see what all we can actually fit here i probably won't need long for this oh give me two seconds so here's one of these here's one of these what is this no that's a 550 okay oh here's a 460 twin frozer 2 so this is a pretty long card let's see if this will fit this is a touch longer than a regular gtx 560 but yeah you can see that'll fit with no difficulty so the power connectors here at the back are definitely going to have enough room to be reached so if you use molex adapters you can easily run that off of this power supply you have three sata power connectors so that supports your four rather supports your full complement of drives one floppy connector and then you're going to use both of those molex connectors if you wanted to run a dual pcie 6 pin graphics card like this one if you run a single slot graphics card you do have an additional pcie 1x slot inside so that would be for like a wireless card or a tv tuner card or whatever the case may be there you go total of two pci expansion slots at the back so that is a little bit more than itx okay oh yeah the back okay so here we've got dvi and hdmi out two usb 3.0 ports so that makes a total of four four usb 2.0 ports e sata gigabit lan and 7.1 audio out there's no microphone port here remember this fully custom motherboard so it's designed to work exactly how they intend for it to work so your microphone port is here also at the back we have optical audio out which i almost didn't see there moving over to the other side you can see how the power supply specs pan out we've got dual 12 volt rails rated up to 16 amps each this is uh looks like fsp is the oem for this so it's probably going to be reliable and awesome in every way all right 80 plus bronze active pfc ball bearing fan so it should be yeah these are all good things for reliability as well as low noise and low power consumption here is the heatsink for the pwm as well as the four pin cpu power connector located in its ideal location exactly wherever shuttle decides it goes because uh really i can't speculate on what the ideal location is in this case all right i think that's pretty much it thank you for checking out my unboxing of the oh i forget now sh67h3 don't forget to subscribe to linus tech tips from our unboxings reviews and other computer videos boom and i forgot to show you guys the quick guide as well as the mounting screws cable ties thermal compound cpu socket cover and driver dvd that is included with the spare bones
