Shuttle SG33G5 SFF XPC Case Review

Fri 2007-09-07 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

When it comes to Small Form Factor cases, particularly in barebone configurations, Shuttle is the dominant brand. They revolutionized the market several years ago, and have consistently updated their product line. TweakTown has posted a review of the Shuttle SG33G5 SFF XPC case, which is based on the new Intel G33 chipset.

Here’s what they had to say:

“The SG33G5 Pro is nice but it’s not revolutionary or anything like that. The bottom line is it’s the same XPC from three years ago with a slightly different exterior design and a new motherboard installed. The biggest problem is working out where exactly this particular XPC fits into the market, not just as a whole but also as far as Shuttle’s line-up goes.”

Aside from the placement of the PCI-E x16 slot, which may not be an issue depending on the graphics solution you choose, this seems like a pretty solid SFF case. However, if you don’t need the integrated graphics and HDMI port, perhaps you would be better off with the SP35P2 Pro.
