Shuttle's Stand At The Fair Is Just One Big, Hopping LAN Party

At Shuttle's fair stand, everyone just plays like there's no tomorrow. Visitors have more than 60 Barebones at their disposal for the LAN party, and twelve Mini-PCs contain the new Prescott by Intel. With this approach, Shuttle wants to demonstrate that their Barebones show no (over)heating problems with the new P4 CPU. Each CeBIT visitor has three games to choose from, including car racing, a soccer game or a role play. As a monitor, Shuttle uses the new 17" TFT, which will be available starting in April. However, no one at the fair stand was willing to tell us just how expensive the TFT will be. The Barebone family will grow after CeBIT, and PCI Express will assume one of the roles. Also, according to Shuttle's new strategy, the Barebones will also be available as complete systems. A fully equipped Barebone is going to cost as a little as $600 to $1500.

As a special highlight, Shuttle is presenting one of the winners of the last Barebone Modding competition. For cooling purposes, the Lunatrix Barebone has integrated - and set up - a water cooling. Through the cooling liquid, which runs through two separate tanks, the integrated UV lamp reacts. Through a window, milled at the side, the Lunatrix interior can be viewed in greater detail.

Sixty CeBIT visitors can simultaneously square off at Shuttle's stand.

In April 2004, Shuttle will introduce the 17" monitor.
