Turn your HD flat screen into an on-demand home theater. The Shuttle SG45H7 is the ideal start to a mediaPC which will let you display your videos, pictures and music in amazing high-definition. The small, black, aluminum case accommodates Socket 775 Intel Core 2 processors in two- and four-core configurations along with dual-core Pentium and dual- and single-core Celeron motherboards and up to 8 GB of DDR2-800 memory can be installed for flicker-free video presentations.
Mount a single 5.25" and a pair of 3.5" SATA 2 drives for watching Blu-ray discs and storing movies internally. Two drives are accessible through stealthed drive doors. Options within the BIOS enable excellent control over CPU frequency and voltage settings. A 300 Watt miniature power supply, with 80 PLUS certification for energy savings, stands ready to power any components and the Shuttle Integrated Cooling Engine (ICE) will keep your processor cool with advanced heatpipe technology and a silent 92mm fan.
The integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X4500HD with its own powerful 400MHz core supports full 1080p high-resolution video playback along with MS DirectX 10 and Intel Clear Video Technology. Additional graphics support can be installed in the two PCI slots with the PCI-Express slot being capable of handling double-width cards. Built-in 8-channel high definition audio enables incredible sound with plug-and-play ease. Gigabit-LAN supports Wake-on-LAN and other protocols while the multiple USB, Firewire and eSATA ports offer maximum flexibility. The SG45H7 lets you run the show.

Shuttle can do better
- Pros: Good Size, not too big, not too small
High quality construction
Quiet
Supports 16GB Memory with 64-bit OS
- Cons: NO RAID SUPPORT !
Only Graphics Cards support in PCIe...any other PCIe card disables onboard video, which makes computer useless. For example, add an additional Gigabit Ethernet using PCIe 1x and it disables on board video...why ?? Shuttle claims it's the Intel Chipset they use...so use a different chipset.
Onboard video is slow...so not good for a desktop...not good for a server either because of No RAID support. What is it good for ??? Not sure.
- Other Thoughts: Quotes from Shuttle Support...
Thank you for choosing Shuttle products for your computing needs. Unfortunately the on board video chip set (GMA X4500 HD) can not coexist with an additional PCI-E card; you can use one or the other, This is a limitation of the Intel chip set. Some other Shuttle Models that can handle your configuration are the SN68 series but those are AMD base solutions. If you have any other questions please call our Tech Support Department @ 626/820-9000

A good upgrade from Shuttle G33
- Pros: Believe me I am a serious user. The SG45 is a good upgrade machine from SG33. 1. 300W power supply. 2. 16G ram. 3. Keep almost same size as SG33. This one is the smallest one with up-to-date chipset. 4. You can install GTX 260 without problem. This point I like so much. you can install a graphic card up to 11" length. 5. It is quiet. 6. fashion chipset
- Cons: Some tiny weak points. 1. disabling inter graphic card with the PCIe card. 2. The OC performance is not very well. 3. Documents are pointless. 4. BIOS is too simple. 5. The mic jack is in the front panel. This is not convenient when you use game headset. Especially the 5.1 head set.
- Other Thoughts: I was looking for power game center with as small size as possible. The tiny one doesn't has a good graphic performance. SG45 is a good balance. I forcsed SG33 Deluxe, which also has strong power suply. But it is out of stock and the chipset limits the ram size. Suddenly I found SG45. It is a upgraded one. I equip with E8400 and GTX 260 plus 4G DDR2 ram. So far the system is stable and satisfied with me. I hope I have new bios upgrade to obtain more control on the system

- Pros: Newegg support and refund settlement was outstanding ... very professional.
- Cons: Purchased on product recommendation/preference of professional computer business that did the build-out. Item arrived DOA. Video/monitor receptacle was also not soldered/secure to the motherboard.
DOA
- Pros: none since it was DOA
- Cons: Cons are it was DOA, and also that newegg will not give a refund only replacement on this product.
- Other Thoughts: Doesn't seem right that I have to pay return shipping on a DOA product that they sent to me. Therefore making it cost more than I would have paid.
Pretty darn good
- Pros: Small footprint, very quiet even under load, BIOS allows for some overclocking (nothing insane tho), decent CPU and case cooling, almost all the connectivity in the world, attractive (save for SLI/Crossfire), versatile as a mid-range gaming box or an HTPC or just about anything in between.
- Cons: Power supply is relatively weak and will severely limit your video card upgrades (now or in the future); the box accomodates a dual-slot card without any problem, however you are restricted by the wattage the PSU can supply and the single PCIe power connector.
Caveat: this is not meant to be a hardcore fragbox by any stretch of the mind; it does very well with mid-range hardware that isn't too power-hungry.
- Other Thoughts: My current setup with this barebone is:
- Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0 GHz
- 2 x 2 GB DDR2-800
- WD Black 640 GB 7200 rpm
- Pioneer DVD-R/RW drive
- ATI Radeon HD 3870 512 MB
