Shuttle Introduces 945G and Pentium M SFFs

Despite the declining interest in SFFs from other manufacturers, Shuttle had a strong showing of SFF systems based on all of the latest chipsets.

First the obligatory 945G based SFF:

Of course the 945G based SFF does support Intel's Pentium D processors:

Quite possibly the more interesting SFF was the new Pentium M based SFF from Shuttle:

And once more we got to see Shuttle's HTPC SFF also built around the Pentium M processor:

Both Pentium M SFFs use the Intel 915GM chipset.

We mentioned in our first coverage of Shuttle's Pentium M solution at CES that the solution was going to launch with support for a CableCard reader. The CableCard reference design is complete and is ready to go into the next version of Media Center Edition, however it seems that concerns over DRM are preventing it from coming to market. Despite the product being done, it doesn't look like this XPC will be able to launch with CableCard support by the end of this year.
