Shuttle's XPC cubes model series gets a boost: With the new SH310R4, the 8th and 9th generation of the Intel Core processors is now also available in Shuttle’s entry-level range.

Based on the Intel chipset H310, the XPC cube Barebone SH310R4 supports the latest Intel Core processors of the "Coffee Lake" series with socket LGA1151v2 and up to 95 Watt TDP, including the i9-9900K. Two slots on the mainboard allow a total of 32 GB of DDR4 memory to be installed.

The black aluminium chassis, which measures just 32.9 x 21.5 x 19 cm, offers space for an optical drive and two 3.5" hard disks. Furthermore, a PCIe-x16 slot for dual-slot graphics cards and a PCIe-x1 slot for other expansion cards are available. Two M.2 slots for an NVMe SSD (M.2-2280) and a WLAN module (M.2-2230) are also provided.

An HDMI 2.0a and a DisplayPort 1.2 port enable fluent playback of 4K Ultra-HD videos with 60 images per second, while an analogue VGA port is available for Full-HD video output. Other connectivity includes 4x USB 3.1 Gen 1, 4x USB 2.0, Intel Gigabit Ethernet and audio.

A 300 Watt, 80 PLUS-certified power supply unit provides the SH310R4 with sufficient power even when under full load. It can be swapped for a 500 Watt power supply unit if necessary.

In addition, the front of the chassis can be configured individually by simply placing a photo, a graphic or a logo behind the transparent acrylic plate.

Accessories available include a WLAN/Bluetooth module (WLN-M), an RS-232 port (H-RS232), a bracket for two 2.5" drives (PHD3) and a 500 Watt power supply unit (PC63J).

Shuttle’s recommended retail price for the XPC Barebone SH310R4 is EUR 231.00 (ex VAT).
