| Shuttle SS50 is quite a
breakthrough from the conventional desktop or slim casing. Although the
performance needs some tuning up as it has almost everything you could
have thought of integrated on board. That box is really feature rich
with all the necessary connectors already there for immediate usage.
Installation was not so straightforward.
Well this could be due to the fact that we are so used to installing
desktop and not very good at squeezing our hands into the small metal
structure. With the help of the manual, which could be improved perhaps
with better quality photo shots of the installation procedure, it will
definitely help the user to install the system within half an hour.
In fact, I was quite surprised by the
fact that there are some overclocking features which you could try. no
voltage tweak though.
Overall, I find SS50 a definitely
replacement for the machine I am using right now which is a Slot A 550
Athlon. I have installed an ASUS DVD-ROM on it and it sit right next to
my TV where I will hook up the speakers and S-VHS output for watching
DVDs. I have tested and I can say the video quality is acceptable and it
makes a cheap home theatre system for me. For that, you got my Editor's
Choice! |
