Shuttle may not be only in the business of miniature personal computers, but it is quite well known for them, and the company fully intends to continue doing that in the future as well.

Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH, the European subsidiary of Shuttle Inc., has just announced the DS47 Slim PC.

It measures 200 x 165 x 39.5 mm / 7.87 x 6.49 x 1.55 inches. That it is just 39 mm thin is nothing to scoff at, especially given the hardware inside.

The central processing unit is easy enough to understand: an Intel Celeron 847, like CPUs in general, doesn't really take up much space.

What stands out are the 16 GB of DDR3 memory (achieved via SO-DIMM slots, the sort used in notebooks).

Another important asset is the 2.5-inch storage unit, which can be an SSD (solid-state drive) or an HDD (hard disc drive) with SATA 6.0 Gbps connectivity (SATA III).

The full size mini PCI card stands out too, along with the module for data transmission over a wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), compliant to N-standard.

Then there's the pair of RS232 ports (1x switchable to RS422/RS485) with 9-pin D-sub connection.

Furthermore, an external connector for powering on the system remotely is included (two additional pins have been added for providing 5V voltage to external components).

Other specifications include two teaming-capable Gigabit Ethernet connections (with WOL and PXE), two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, and two video ports (HDMI, DVI). Holes for a Kensington lock complete the list.

"Selected customers and partners were given the opportunity to extensively test the DS47 even prior to the launch date", says Tom Seiffert, head of marketing & PR of Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH.

"We were impressed by the overwhelming encouragement and the many creative application options of our new model."

Shuttle wants €184 / $184 - $243 for the 65W system. Buyers can place it on their desk or mount it behind their monitor.
