Pequeño pero (potencialmente) matón

Desde hace unos meses llevábamos en la redacción de TodoJuegos buscando un PC que cumpliera una serie de especificaciones concretas, a saber: caja pequeña, silencioso, con todo tipo de conectores externos para pinchar mandos de la Xbox 360, discos USB, etc. Y que además nos permitiera ponerle una tarjeta de vídeo PCI Express de tamaño “normal”. El objetivo lógicamente era crear un PC de juegos que poder enchufar a la televisión de cualquier salón, sin desentonar estéticamente ni atronar los oídos. La primera de nuestras intentonas la acabamos de finiquitar con el Shuttle SZ87R6, y ha sido exitosa, aunque con matices.


El Montaje.

Lo primero que tiene que quedar claro es lo que incluye este Mini-PC, o mejor, lo que no incluye: ni CPU, ni disco duro, ni memoria. Lo que Shuttle te proporciona es una caja de PC minúscula (en alto y ancho, que no en largo como veremos a continuación), una placa base adaptada a la misma y un sistema de refrigeración especial, lo demás lo pones tú. Tiene su parte buena, que es que le puedes poner lo que más se adapte a tu gusto y presupuesto, aunque quien busque un PC completo ya construido, o no se sienta lo bastante manitas, quedará descartado como comprador.

Las especificaciones de la placa base y conectores incluidos es bastante completa, aunque sin nada que se salga de lo estándar, aquí os lo copiamos directamente del web del fabricante y a continuación os contamos lo que nos parece destacado y lo que echamos en falta:
