Shuttle Computers Launches the Elite Gaming Machine

Posted on: Thursday, 21 December 2006, 21:00 CST

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Shuttle Inc., the world's leading designer and manufacturer of small form factor computers and accessories announced the launch of its newest lineup of gaming PCs -- the Shuttle 1337 and 1337 SDXi system. The term 1337 or "leet" is a term primarily used by gamers referring to the gaming skills of another person. The term itself is derived from the word Elite, meaning better than the rest. These systems bring together the best technologies the industry has to offer to make one blazing fast gaming system. Shuttle 1337 systems are able to match performance of larger, yet louder tower systems in a small footprint.

According to the Product Manager, Kevin Tu, "We made it our goal to extract the most performance from our existing XPCs without sacrificing portability for LAN parties. The result: Shuttle 1337 SDXi blending the paramount engineering with unsurpassed technologies from Intel and ATI."

The new Shuttle 1337 systems differ from the regular Shuttle XPC systems in form and function. Sporting a unique paint job and liquid-cooling system, the Shuttle 1337 system is highlighted with premium-grade glossy automotive paint by Smooth Creations for that customized touch. Paint jobs by Smooth Creations offer unmatched quality and craftsmanship. According to Smooth Creations PR representative Ashley Willis, "Quality is not expensive ... it's priceless!"

Liquid cooling is employed on 1337 systems to keep the graphics cards cool and quiet. Air-cooling is not enough with increasing graphics card complexities. The Shuttle 1337 systems allow for a liquid cooling performance without fear of leaks. The system is fully self-contained, maintenance free and guaranteed leak-free.

Shuttle 1337 SDXi systems integrate the best technologies for blazing fast performance in games and applications. Powered by the Intel Core 2 Extreme Edition X6800 or QX6700 processor, 1337 SDXi systems deliver two and four cores of processing with seamless multitasking capabilities. Joining the Core 2 Extreme processor is a pair of AMD ATI Radeon X1950 Pro graphics cards in CrossFire. The pair of ATI Radeon X1950 Pro graphics cards deliver breathtaking visuals with outstanding performance.

Shuttle 1337 SDXi systems now available starting at $3499 at http://www.shuttle.com/.
