Shuttle's Zen to be based on ATI technology

This isn't like the Ford Motor Company you know.

The firm has already announced and is selling ST61 based XPCs using ATI's 9100 IGP but Remorseless and Pitiless Time is forcing it to keep banging out new stuff.

In 2004 Shuttle will announce a PC called Zen. Zen stands for Zen Buddhism, and apparently therefore for meditation and quietness - which is how it wants to position its even smaller XPC.

It's 20 per cent smaller than any other Shuttle and it has an external fanless PSU like the ones that we carry with our laptops and should operate under 25dba.

The machine is styled the ST62K in Shuttle-speak, where T=ATI, 6=P4, K=chassis. Sample units are already finished and we learn it will be announced sometime in the middle of January.

This is a secret, so for goodness sake don't tell anyone else.

The machine is "Prescott ready" so you will be able to plug the new Intel CPU straight into it once Intel has got the launch ceremony out of the way. µ
