What's so interesting about the ST20G5? First of all, its chassis with an objectively better (among Shuttle products and similar barebone-kits from competitors) noise level and subjectively better design of the front panel and exterior in general. Secondly, its "innards": Socket 939 for Athlon 64/FX/X2 to any taste (from cheap workhorses to the most powerful processors on the market) and a chipset from ATI with integrated video — the only integrated chipset, which can be tested in modern games and which is on a par with its competitors in 2D performance. As a result, we have decided upon the following format of the ST20G5: this barebone-kit will be reviewed as a combination of new functionality and the already reviewed chassis. Of course, the review will not shrink to a couple of paragraphs, but you should keep in mind that many details will be omitted. You may read about these details in the review of Shuttle XPC SB77G5.
