Shuttle DH170 barebone - PC/workstation barebones (1.3L sized PC, Intel, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Pentium, HDD, SSD, M.2, Serial ATA III, SO-DIMM 32GB RAM)

Designed for kiosk use i.e on all the time and a decent warranty- a keenly priced shuttle over buying a duel lan motherboard, case and psu separately.I like the fact that shuttle give you free thermal paste, a cpu socket cover should you swap out cpu or resell at later date.Duel intel lan teamingI am running a Linux Apache2 Mysql PHP server of this hardware and have found it near silent.Only point I would say is there appears to be a continental plug with an un fused uk adapter- supply a uk cloverleaf lead with uk fused plug as a recommendation.

Just works

Well I got this to replace a low powered router / gateway we have here.First impressions was ok, but noticed the bios was very limited to what you can do and set, but maybe that's just me.I did notice was the bios was stating the Intel Core i3 6320 was getting hot while idling in the bios using the supplied heat pipes supplied + fans at max.I also tried the supplied HSF that came with the CPU and the bios still was reporting the CPU getting hot while idle in the bios, so I was a bit worried at this point.I thought I would just progress on due to the Thermal Compound not hardening as yet, so I installed Linux on there and did some tests, strangely enough it was reporting the CPU Cores only as 25°C when idle where as in the bios it was saying it was above 55°C when idle, so either the bios is wrong or Linux is wrong, knowing Linux is more mature than the bios on this product I trust Linux more than the bios.Now that leads me to the power cable that comes with this product, sadly it only comes with an EU 2 pin plug and not a UK plug, so I had to buy a cable.So with all the issues so far I give it a 4 star rating, half a start for the bios and half a star for the lack of a UK power cable.Overall I am happy with this item so far.
