A couple of days ago a new XPC barebone from Shuttle ? SB75G2 ? emerged in a number of Akihabara stores in Japan. The product is built upon i875P core-logic ? Intel?s premier chipset this year. The SB75G brings everything Shuttle XPC platform has to offer ? loads of I/O ports, including USB 2.0 and FireWire, Shuttle?s own technologies as well as 220W PSU ? one of the most powerful PSU used in barebones. The main peculiarity of the PC barebone is a number of enterprise PC features ? Gigabit Ethernet, ECC memory support and Serial ATA-150 RAID.
