Available from mid-September will be Shuttle’s Atom powered X27 mini desktop. The small PC will start from $189 for just a barebones rig — no chip, memory or hard drive. Fully spec’d with an Atom, you’re looking at $500+ in the emerging Nettop category using Intel’s low power Atom processor and is an ideal home for a DIY Windows Home Server build, although a bit pricey.
With the noise level only reaching 23 decibels and the computer using just 23 watts of power whilst idle and 36 watts while in use, it is very power friendly.
