Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Filed under: Desktops

It looks like blistering fast DDR3 RAM and new Draft 2.0-spec 802.11n gear aren’t the only new wares taking the stage at Computex, as an X38-based SX38P3 Deluxe was spotted comfortably residing within a Shuttle XPC. Of course, this isn’t the first motherboard news coming from the Shuttle camp of late, but the camera-wielding crew at HotHardware was able to snap a few shots of the new flagship system all the while. The SX38P3 will reportedly replace the SD37PV2 as Shuttle’s high-end Intel based barebone system, and will sport a single PCI Express x16 slot alongside a vanilla PCI slot — something the SD37PV2 lacked and received healthy amounts of criticism for. Interestingly, the rear of the machine purportedly held no legacy ports whatsoever, instead opting for six USB 2.0 connectors in hopes that you’ve upgraded your input peripherals and printer relatively recently. As expected, no availability and pricing details were to be had, but feel free to click on through for more sneak peeks at the newfangled rig.

Considering the recent onslaught of Pico-ITX and other diminutive motherboards hitting the scene, it’s not too surprising to hear that Shuttle could end up shipping standalone mobos for its widely recognized XPC series of small form factor PCs. According to an interview with DigiTimes, a Shuttle spokesperson purportedly revealed that the company was “planning to start shipping standalone motherboards for its XPC line” of computers, which would allow current XPC barebone kit owners to upgrade just their mainboard in the future rather than having to buy an entirely new setup. Moreover, this decision would enable owners to mix and match current motherboard offerings with the variety of chassis options, and while there were no hints as to when Shuttle would make the final call on this reported decision, we can’t imagine it hanging around for too much longer while competitors eat away at SFF market share.

The Pico-ITX motherboard standard truly lives up to its name as the smallest regular commercial motherboard that money can buy. It’s not hard to imagine why people would want a motherboard as small as VIA’s PX10000: its low power requirements (the guys at Mini-ITX.com couldn’t get it to draw more than 16 Watts under full load) and miniscule size (less than 4 inches long) make it perfect for really small enclosures. Unfortunately if you were hoping to make this into a high definition mini-media box to sit under the TV, you’ll be disappointed. The 1GHz CPU isn’t capable of running any popular video formats at an acceptable rate above 1024×768, so you’ll have to stick with standard definition, if at all. VIA isn’t particularly helpful when it comes to getting the motherboard to play nicely with Linux either, and haven’t provided a central depository for Linux compatible drivers. There’s also a lack of enclosures for the Pico-ITX motherboard size, where there’s a Catch 22 situation of manufacturers unwilling to create cases for a limited market, and consumers unwilling to buy motherboards without a decent array of cases. Until these problems are sorted, the Pixo-ITX platform and this particular motherboard will fail to appeal to the general market: as if that was ever the target in the first place.

As this year rolled in, AMD introduced a DTX open standard in hopes of boosting the allure of SFF adoption, and sure enough, Gigabyte took the bait. The firm’s first mini DTX motherboard, dubbed Churchill, reportedly “serves as a base for AMD’s Live! Home Media Server platform,” and supports the Socket AM2 Athlon 64 and Sempron single- / dual-core processors. The mobo also features a SiS761GX north and SiS966 south bridge, an integrated Mirage 1 graphics core, a single PCIe slot, one vanilla PCI slot, six SATA ports, a total of eight USB 2.0 connectors scattered about, an built-in audio to boot. No word on pricing just yet, but the wee board should slip in under your nose sometime in July.

Typically, we don’t single out just one aspect of an entire console or gizmo, as it’s always a beautiful sight to see a perfectly assembled console do its thang in reverse, but Sony’s European PlayStation 3 is a different animal. If you’ll recall, the American PS3 features a neatly attached PS2 chipset to make sure that backwards compatibility was all but a minor issue, but even after countless delays and a staggeringly high price point, Europe’s unit was hamstringed still. While we’d heard that the late-coming PS3 would sport limited abilities in the PS2 department, it still made us cringe when those whispers were proved true, and now its time to witness just how bare this motherboard looks as it uses emulation to crank up a few (literally) PS2 titles. Grab your tissues, and click on through for a few more shots.
