At one-third the size of a standard tower but offering the same level of performance, the XPC Cube SZ270R8 barebone system is ideal for use as a home media center, cloud storage device or simply a home PC for everyday tasks. It's based on the Intel Z270 chipset and supports 6th/7th generation Intel Core/Pentium/Celeron processors. It has four DIMM slots, two M.2 2280 sockets, one M.2 2230 socket, four HDD bays, dual GbE LAN ports, and supports oversized, dual-slot graphics card. The DisplayPort and an HDMI outputs allow dual-monitor setup. A 500W power supply with 80 PLUS Silver certification delivers stable and reliable output for a mainstream system. A passive, heatpipe-equipped CPU cooler is included.
To complete this system, you'll need a processor, system memory, storage drive and Operating System software.
The SZ270R8 is equipped with Intel Z270 chipset and supports dual-channel DDR4 2133/2400 with the maximum memory capacity of up to 64GB (16GBx4). It also supports overclocking function and Gigabit LAN, SATA 6Gbps, as well as USB3.0 high-speed storage interfaces, providing superb data transfer speed.
Equipped with the new LGA 1151 socket, the SZ270R8 supports both Intel 6th Gen (Skylake) and Intel 7th Gen (Kabylake) Core i3/i5/i7, Pentium, and Celeron 95W processors. Built-in DirectX 12 that's compatible with the Intel HD Graphics provides significantly increased CPU and GPU performance.
The SZ270R8 has two built-in M.2 2280 slots. Type-M and M.2 2230 with type A/E slots allow you to install M.2 SSDs, WiFi cards or any other compatible device, providing strong expansion capability.
With a 7th Gen Intel Core processor, the SZ270R8 supports the latest Intel Optane technology which makes your overall system performance up to 28% faster to deliver amazing speed.
The all-new graphics card mechanism can support to install up to 120mm of height graphic cards (support to max. size of 280 x 120 x 40 mm). It is easier to install a separate graphics card or other expansion cards than ever before and more stable.
Shuttle XPC cube features stable, cool, and silent operation with Shuttle’s ICE 2 heat pipe technology. It uses convection cooling to dissipate heat away from the CPU. The ICE2 copper tubes, coated in nickel for enhanced tube hardness and rust-proof protection, are filled with distilled water to effectively channel heat and provide highly efficient processor and chassis cooling. The SZ270R8 is configured four heat pipes of the cooling modules to provide excellent cooling capability than before (three pipes).
The SZ270R8 is equipped with Intel's latest Z270 chipset which supports four SATA 6Gbps slots and Intel Rapid Storage Technology. It provides RAID 0/1/5/10 disk array modes, allowing for faster and more secured data access rates.
The SZ270R8 provides one PCI-E x16 and one PCI-E x4 slots to meet various needs of users. Select the card you want to use, such as multi-display graphic cards, monitor cards, RAID cards, and professional sound cards for video wall, file server, network video recorder, and more applications.
Set up an 8cm fan in the front-inside of the case, effectively removing the waste heat from the hard drive to maintain stable and long-term operation.
The SZ270R8 provides DisplayPort and HDMI video outputs to support 4K Ultra HD (3840x2160). With four times the resolution of Full HD, viewers can enjoy super detailed and crystal clear imaging of 4K.
With two Intel i211 chips, SZ270R8 has a built-in Intel 10/100/1000 Mbps Dual LAN interfaces and supports Wake ON LAN and Teaming function to provide high-speed data transfer capability. It also offers a better compatibility for business network environment.
Use BIOS to set up the Wake ON LAN function so that users can power-on from sleep mode, rest mode, or when powered off via the internet.
Save energy costs as well as the cost of on-site service with Power-On by RTC function. Set automatic ‘Power On’ and ‘Power Off’ times by RTC via BIOS. Power on by RTC can also be turned on and off with the Windows task scheduler.
Shuttle’s SZ270R8 is equipped with an 80 Plus Sliver 500W power supply for guaranteed energy efficiency and energy saving. Shuttle’s 500W power supply cuts down on unnecessary power consumption for a higher level of energy saving.
Shuttle expands the capabilities of its chassis, adding support for Mini-ITX mainboards (17x17 cm or 6.7x6.7 inches). Shuttle chassis goes beyond the Shuttle mainboard so you can easily upgrade to the mainboard of your desire without any modifications to the chassis.
