Introduction

Shuttle have been in existence since 1983 when they began manufacturing motherboards and by 1995 they were the fifth largest motherboard manufacturer on the planet. In 1998 they created the world’s first 17x17cm board which would pave the way for the company as we all know it now.

The first XPC was released in 2001 and since then Shuttle have continually been upgrading the range to utilise as many desktop features as possible into a compact chassis. One of the latest models to be released is their Core-i7/X58 based system the SX58H7 and today we have one on our test bench to find out if Intel’s latest architecture is a viable option in a small form factor.
