Shuttle has recently added the SZ270R8 model in its XPC series of miniPC chassis. Based on the Intel Z270 chipset, this product promises to offer high performance and expansion flexibility, at a compelling price. The stylish aluminum chassis is three times smaller than tower PC but as a result of a new internal design, it can support large-format dual-slot graphics cards, installation of up to four 3.5" hard disck drives and supports the Intel Rapid Storage Technology (Intel RST) for those looking at RAID configurations (RAID 0/1/5/10).

Equipped with Intel Z270 chipset, this new XPC cube is designed to drive Intel Kabylake LGA 1151 processors - it supports both Intel 6th Gen (Skylake) and Intel 7th Gen (Kabylake) Core i3/i5/i7, Pentium, and Celeron 95W processors. With Intel HD graphics, the SZ270R8 is able to support 4K/Ultra HD video playback and up to three independent screens and dual-screen displays via HDMI or DisplayPort interfaces.

The SZ270R8 provides one PCI-E x16 slot (Support Dual Slot VGA card). It's built-in Dual Gigabit LAN supports Wake on LAN and Teaming Mode; comes with two M.2 2280 and one M.2 2230 slots, 10 USB3.0 ports, as well as an optional RS232.

Shuttle's I.C.E.2 heat pipe technology and an 80 Plus Silver 500W power supply ensure stability and and energy-efficiency for long-term operation. Shuttle's recommended retail price for the XPC Barebone SZ270R8 is around 325-350 Euros (ex VAT).
