All Solid Capacitors Motherboard Design
 All solid capacitors design is the new trend for Shuttle’s motherboard and guaranteed to deliver maximum stability, reliability and longer system lifetime for the ultimate PC gaming and entertainment experience. |
Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) Technology
 The Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) included in the G5 Series has been purpose designed for the G5-chassis. The Integrated Cooling Engine uses convection cooling to transfer heat away from the processor and other critical system components. Copper tubing, coated in nickel and filled with distilled water provide the conduit through which heat the radiator, providing both processor cooling an passes to a radiator.
Improving on the standard ICE module that ships with all G-series XPCs, the G5 series ICE module uses fans in push-pull to more efficiently pass cool air over the ICE radiators fins. This makes it possible to deliver up to 50CFM. Further both fans are PWM spec — which means linear control of the fan speed — and controllable in BIOS. |
Advanced I/O
The XPC offers ample I/O connectivity, and then some. Features, such as the Clear CMOS button and Wireless LAN perforation, are Shuttle exclusives, and not seen in other small form factor computers.
The XPC's G5 3300 feature-rich back panel is perfectly complemented by an equally rich front panel. With USB 2.0, FireWire 400, HDMI Port, Built-in Gigabit Ethernet and eSATA Ports built into the real panel.

Off-Screen LED
There’s nothing quite as obnoxious as having your DVD, TV and video track information appear on your monitor while it’s in use. To eliminate an unwanted distraction, we’ve enhanced the home theater experience by creating a versatile front panel LED display on.
Intelligently designed and integrated, this multi-modal panel serves as a secondary display when the PC is in Home Theater mode. The idea behind this display is to improve media delivery by removing DVD, TV and video track information from the monitor and moving it to a display that does not interrupt viewing pleasure. For example, when watching TV, the LED will display the TV icon, channel as well as volume information.
