The Taiwanese company Shuttle launches its first barebone entirely without active cooling system for a total silence. The consideration: the necessarily limited performance.

A steel case 20 x 16.5 x 3.95 cm, a motherboard on which is soldered CPU, and power supply. That’s what Shuttle offers with its DS57U. A traditional barebone, in short? Not really.

Because it lacks this description a fan which cools the processor. And this is not an oversight, since this model does not. The DS57U is the first reference Shuttle to be completely devoid of ventilation.

It obviously has to the Celeron 3205U he embarks. This processor, including the two cores operate at 1.5 GHz is Broadwell generation. Engraved in 14 nm, it releases only 15 watts maximum. That a single fanless heatsink can dissipate without too much concern.

This barebone has a 2.5-inch slot reserved for the storage (HDD or SSD), two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 16 GB of memory DDR3L and mini-PCI-E slot which allows the addition an expansion card as a mSATA module. A second mini PCI-E slot is already equipped with a Wi-Fi module.
Connectivity, found on this barebone two Gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports, a displayPort output and a second to the HDMI format.

The facade has a card reader, four USB 2.0 ports and, more surprisingly, two RS-232 serial ports.

This barebone can be arranged vertically or mounted via VESA mounting supplied with the camera. It is marketed to 230 euros. You can find out in the video below.

The Taiwanese company Shuttle, an eminent developer of mini-computers and barebone-systems began selling in the European market started selling compact and productive barebone model DS81L. The novelty has the following dimensions: 190 x 165 x 43 mm, based on the platform Intel Haswell c processors Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7, Pentium or Celeron processor and a motherboard with chipset Intel H81.

 Shuttle DS81L supports up to 16 GB of memory standard SO-DIMM DDR3-1600, one drive size 2.5 inches with support for SATA 6 GB / s, as well as device interface Mini PCI-E (all available two slots, one of them to pay half the size). For example, you can install Wi-Fi adapter or TV tuner. The main body of new items is located two USB 3.0 and six USB 2.0 ports, two 3.5mm audio ports, a slot for memory cards SD, two-port RJ45, two ports RS232, as well as two HDMI and DisplayPort. Whereby the device can output image format Ultra HD. The product is compatible with the VESA mount.

 It is worth noting the use of the original cooling system with heat pipes and two fans. Component base on mat plate includes solid capacitors allow the device to work 24/7 for a long time, even at 50 ° C.

 Shuttle DS81L powered by an external adapter 12V, consumes less than 84 watts and is able to simultaneously play up to two video streams with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels or one stream in the format of Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 pixels).

 The suggested retail price of a mini-computer Shuttle DS81L is about $ 200.
