Most Favorable Review

Great Office PC but nothing more!

Shuttle SH61R4 Intel Socket H2(LGA1155) Intel H61 Barebone
Shuttle SH61R4 Intel Socket H2(LGA1155) Intel H61 Barebone

Pros: Quality barebone pc at an excellent price. Finished building, configuring and installing an OS on this machine in about an hour!

Cons: PSU is lacking. Not really sure why this PSU even has a 12v rail- 250 watts will not power many video cards. Onboard graphics are pathetic to say the least. Wont let me resize my resolution past 800 X 600 without pooping out.

Overall Review: For the price, this a great machine. Never built a shuttle before however I was impressed that all the wires were routed in the case out of the box. This would be a great machine for a 1st build as all of the connections are taken care of. All you need to do is drop in a Harddrive, CPU, RAM and a DVD ROM (if needed). I was able to squeeze in a DVD Rom, 2 Harddrives and an SSD. There wasnt enough room in the Harddrive bay to squeeze my SSD in the rack, however nothing some electrical tape cant resolve! Running an i5 2600k with 8 gb of RAM. Very stable machine. Nonetheless, lack of a decent PSU doesnt allow for even a smaller GPU (such as the 8800GT) without upgrading the PSU alltogether.
