Shuttle XPC SB65G2: Big Performance in This Small Package

Content Creation and General Usage Performance
The Shuttle SB65G2 looks on paper like a regular Intel Springdale system with no compromises due to its small size. In test results, it behaves the same way. Our benchmarks here are comparing the SB65G2 to the fastest 865 and 875 motherboards that we have tested. Despite that and the fact that all the other systems use PAT, the Shuttle is completely competitive with the best 865/875 motherboards we have tested.
There were a few surprises in our benchmarks, like the SB65G2 setting the new high score for Multimedia Content Creation Winstone 2003, and the excellent performance in the newer Gun Metal 2 and X2 benchmarks. Overall, the Benchmark performance of the Shuttle XPC SB65G2 varied from the same in the best cases to 6% less in the worst cases.

can anyone tell me if i can cram a ati 9800 all in wonder into this box?Anonymous User - Monday, October 20, 2003 - link
Just got confirmation from Shuttle tech support that the SB65G2 does not support SATA RAID 0. Shuttle tech support tells me it uses ICH5 while the dealer here in the UK says it used ICH5R but they both agree RAID is not supported. Quite disappointed since I was hoping to get wireless and RAID all on one motherboard. The SB65G2 is availabe in the UK at www.gemma.co.uk from Oct 24th.Any experience on exactly *how* quiet these little boxes are? Quiet enough for a living room?

So I assume that one would be the "OEM" CPU instead of the retail CPU for a Shuttle box, right?Anonymous User - Wednesday, October 1, 2003 - link

I've been to the US Shuttle and international sites today (9/24) and there is NOTHING on the SB65G2, or any SB65X2 or SB61X2. The SB61G2 is the box I can find in the Pacific Northwest, along with some of the earlier Athlon and P478 versions. IS THIS THING REALLY FOR SALE?Arlo - Wednesday, September 24, 2003 - link
So when is this suppose to be release?jbratton - Tuesday, September 16, 2003 - link
My advice a a Shuttle Customer... DO NOT RISK IT !There are lots of other vendors with integrity out there. The jokers I've delt with at Shuttle in the US void any warranty they claim ! Im my experience with them I can count on an unneeded flashing bios.. If thats the problem.. than your ok.. ortherwize.. you're on your own.. after a couple of attempts..forget it.. your warrantys expired !! - A Joke they play on us !
