The ultra-compact Shuttle Barebone X27D comes with an integrated Dual Core Intel Atom processor.The x27D line has Atom 330 (1.6 GHz) with low TDP and there is no need for active cooler so this computer is ideal for customers who wants silent and powerful and also little space dual core PC. The computer has also passive 60W PSU. Its visual appearance shines with coated surfaces and mirrored plates. The optical drive and front panel connectors are elegantly concealed behind drive doors to provide maximum protection. This tiny tot with barely 7cm in height and a volume of 3 litres comes up with DVI, support for DDR2 memory and SATA2 as well as a vast array of interfaces and connectors. Ideal for use with internet and office applications.


The focus on aesthetics is apparent when looking at the design details of XPC. Compare XPC to your typical beige box PC, and the difference in quality will be striking. Design is more and more important for PC users – especially in the home area and in stylish offices. Provide an overview about the XPC designs here.

Besides Intel dual core Atom processor, the mini-ITX motherboard has 945GC chipset with integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics, Realtec 5.1 audio, GB LAN, 2 SATA and one IDE and 4 USB connectors and also VGA and DVI connectors. The configuration can be upgrade to max 2Gb DDR2 667MHz RAM.

Review By Computershopper

Measuring 2.9×7.25×9.5 inches (HWD)—less than half the size of a traditional Shuttle—the glossy black X27D is a veritable gargantuan compared with Asus’s 1×8.75×7-inch Eee Box. The X27D’s minute stature means, of course, that internal expansion is next to impossible; it has no slots for cards, drive bays, or even extra RAM. In our review unit, the lone slot was filled with one 2GB stick—even electricity has to be outsourced to an external power brick. What you pay for is essentially what you’re stuck with: a 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor, an 80GB hard drive, integrated Intel graphics, and the no-frills Windows Home Basic operating system.

The x27D is arguably Shuttle’s cutest chassis yet. It has a similar footprint to the Mac Mini, although its 185 by 250 by 70 mm chassis is a little deeper and taller than its Apple rival. Despite its slightly larger chassis, the x27D uses an external power supply brick, like you get with a laptop, but that’s a good thing seeing as fanless external PSUs tend to be quieter than their internal counterparts.

Although it is small and near-silent, the Shuttle doesn’t have the cojones for that particular job. What we’re looking at is a regular PC that will appeal to the sort of people who hate a beige tower and have no desire to play games. That covers PC users who want the desktop equivalent of a netbook only with a proper mouse, keyboard and display, which reminds us that you also need to budget for those peripherals, along with a set of speakers.

The cherry on top is the price: by ditching the non-essentials, Shuttle has made the X27D not only simple but affordable. The basic unit costs just £169 exc VAT, including the CPU (it’s surface mounted on the mini-ITX motherboard) but minus memory, drives and OS. As usual, you’ll need to acquire and install these yourself, plus keyboard and mouse. Unlike the lesser Atoms, the 330 will take a 64-bit OS, though with one DIMM slot it’s hard to see the point.

With barely 7cm in height, the Shuttle Barebone X27D also comes with Gigabit-LAN, 6 channel audio, two monitor connectors, Serial ATA and support for up to 2GB DDR2 memory. Any Slimline drive plus a hard disk or a robust Solid State Disk (SSD) in 2.5″ format can be housed internally. Six USB connectors enable expansions outside of the case. Power to the Shuttle Barebone X27D is provided by an external fanless 60 Watt power supply.

Review By Tech.uk.msn

All complete versions of the x27D ship with an 8x DVD rewriter drive. This gives the machine the functionality of a DVD player — provided you have appropriate software — and allows users to make backup discs as large as 4.7GB in size. It’s worth noting that due to the size of the chassis, it’s not possible to add a Blu-ray drive — not that the integrated graphics card could have have handled 1080p video anyway.
