I bought a cube PC "Shuttle SZ77R5 Quiet" equipped with the latest Core i7, memory 32 GB, SSD 480 GB

The cube PC is compact enough, and if you customize it properly at the time of purchase, it is convenient as long as it is not a core gamer as long as you get enough specs. So, about three years agoCleverlyI bought a cube PC and used it at home, but I just decided to replace because I became unable to start because it failed the other day.Orio specSimilar series sold in "Shuttle SZ77R5 QuietI decided to buy a customized version (340 272 yen including tax / shipping fee).

The outer box looks like this.


In addition to the main body, the contents include a power cord, a spare fan, an OS installation disk, a manual, and so on.


The main body size is width 216 × height 198 × depth 332 mm.


Comparing the size with the iPad looks like this.


The case is made of shuttle "500 W power supply"SZ77R5".


Since the foot of the housing is made of soft material, it is possible to suppress noise due to vibration.


Since there is eSATA terminal, data transfer is possible faster than USB 2.0 and IEEE if connecting corresponding equipment. Besides, HDMI, DVI, USB 3.0 × 2, USB 2.0 × 4 are carried.


The front port cover pushes the corner ... ....


"Pakkatto" opens, USB 3.0 2.0, USB 2.0 x 2, microphone input, line output appears.


It is possible to unscrew the screws on the back with your fingers.


Taking such a cover makes me feel like this.


Although the interior is packed with gusset and parts partly, the fan only carries one of 9 cm in diameter and 2,500 rpm in rotation which also serves as cooling for exhaust and heat sink. In addition, with the nominal value by Orio spec, the noise during operation is 20 dB.


Let's first remove the drives attached to the upper part of the enclosure.



The optical drive is Pioneer BDR - 207 MBK (DVD / BDXL compatible Blu - ray 3D playback compatible DVD multi - drive).


SSD (6 Gbps compatible high speed MLC) Intel 520 Series 480 GB "SSDSC 2 CW 480 A 3" x 2 is installed. Compared with HDD, the speed of startup and shutdown is overwhelmingly faster and comfortable.


The memory has 8GB DDR3 / 1600MHz PC 3-12800 DIMM × 4.



A part of the heat sink attached to the CPU looks like this.


Just twist the plastic clasp to remove it.


The whole part is like this shape.


I am carrying Intel Core i7-3770K (3.50 GHz) which was called by the code name of Ivy Bridge.


I tried to remove it.


Grease is painted on the back to increase thermal conductivity.


The graphics board is ASUS EAH 6450 SILENT / DI / 1 GD 3 (RADEON HD 6450 1 GB).


So, since PC is mainly used at home, I am not interested in tablet or ultra book, but I'm interested in silence for a while and it is a recommended option for those who want a powerful machine.
