K.I.S.S MY MARINE XPC -  "Keep It Simple, Silent"

Marine XPC Opens Silent PC Market to the Industry

Latest XPC product  line is set to rede?ne silent PC computing. Following the mantra "Keep it simple, silent" the XPC SD11G5 combines best-of-class, less than 24dB, silent PC performance with the ease of use, power, and versatility of a regular XPC.

The newest XPC redefines what boaties expect from a silent PC. "This silent PC solution offers numerous tangible benefits over a standard PC," explained Shuttle global marketing representative, "The XPC SD11G5 has created a silent PC system that meets the price and technical simplicity to be a success in the marine market."

To bring silent PC to the mainstream, designers followed one well known rule, KISS (Keep it simple, Stupid) aiming for a silent PC solution that simply delivers, even to users new to this enthusiast group. Traditionally, customizing a PC for silence would involve premium-priced after market components and time consuming research and modi?cations, but the XPC SD11G5 comes equipped with many of these optimizations built in. Utilizing a single fan design coupled with Shuttle’s ICE heat-pipe technology, the system offers efficient cooling of internal components with little cost in noise. Notebook PC technology has been harnessed in the form of Intel’s low-heat, high-performance mobile processors, the Pentium M and Celeron M series, and the whole system is powered by XPC’s noiseless 220W external Silent X power supply. Testing of the XPC SD11G5 configured with standard PC components reveals that the system produces less than 24dB of noise. This compares to the 32dB levels produced by typical XPCs, and greater than 40dB of standard PC systems. However, impressive as this seems, when using carefully selected components, experienced silent PC enthusiasts will be able to reach levels even lower.

The distinctive white XPC SD11G5 barebone will be available inthe new year.
