Small form-factor PC specialist Shuttle has launched the successor to its XPC Mini X100 slimline computer chassis. The box takes up no more desk space than a sheet of A4 paper.
The XPC Mini X200 (above) incorporates an Intel 945GM-based mobo ready for a Core 2 Duo CPU and up to 2GB of DDR 2 SDRAM. The system uses Intel’s integrated GMA950 graphics chip and has 7.1-channel HD audio on board. It ships with a digital and analog TV tuner, and a remote control. It also has an FM tuner.
The new model also sports integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. It retains its predecessor’s four rear-mounted USB 2.0 ports with an extra one on the front, it’s lost the X100’s Firewire port. The s-video port’s gone too, but the new model does have PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors. As before, there’s a DVI connector for the display.
It’s expected to retail for around $1,240/£637.
