Shuttle 1337 SDXi System
Shuttle today said it has overcome the seemingly insurmountable heat limits of small form factor PC cases with its 1337 SDXi enthusiast case. Liquid-cooling is built into the system and reduces the often intense heat within the SFF case to the extent that the highest-end components can be safely installed inside: a quad-core Core 2 Extreme processor is available while either a single GeForce 8800 GTX or dual X1950 Pro cards drive graphics. Crucial also supplies 2GB of low-latency RAM and a 150GB Raptor hard disk from Western Digital is said to improve loading times.
To reflect its unique style, the SDXi, its mouse, and its keyboard are given a hand-painted flame pattern with high-grade automotive paint. Shuttle begins pricing at $3,449 with a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo.
