Shuttle has announced its new ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) barebones system that is barely larger than a typical 5.25-inch optical disc drive. The XPC Barebone DH470 system is designed for a variety of workloads, but not for demanding gaming or digital content creation. Â
As the name suggests, the Shuttle XPC Barebone DH470 is based on Intel's H470 chipset and therefore supports all existing 10th Generation Core Comet Lake-S processors with up to 10 cores and up to 65W TDP. It also promises to support upcoming 11th Generation Core Rocket Lake-S CPUs with the same thermal envelope. The CPU is cooled down using a rather large cooling system featuring heat pipes and two fans. The system can be equipped with up to 64GB of DDR4-2933 memory, an M.2 2280 SSD (with a PCIe x4 or SATA interface), and a 2.5-inch HDD or SSD.
It has up to four display outputs (two DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0a, optional D-Sub), two GbE ports (controlled by the Intel i210 chip), one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connector, seven USB 3.2 Type-A ports (four Gen 2, three Gen 1) ports, two COM headers (RS232/422/485), an SD card reader, and audio in/out connectors. As for wireless, the XPC Barebone DH470 has an M.2-2230 slot for a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapter, it also can be equipped with a 4G modem.
The XPC DH470 can be used for a wide variety of applications, but not those that demand a high-performance GPU as the system does not have a decent graphics processor inside and does not feature a Thunderbolt 3 port to connect an external graphics card using an eGFX chassis.Â
The Shuttle XPC Barebone DH470 is available now directly from the company for €260 excluding VAT. It is likely that shortly the systems based on these barebones will be available from various value added resellers (VARs) already equipped with a CPU, memory, storage, and other required components. Â
In addition to its flagship XPC Barebone DH470, Shuttle also lists considerably cheaper DH410 and DH410S barebones that are based on an entry-level chipset and are not as feature-rich as the high-end model.
