Conclusion

With the new Prima series comes a new tagline from Shuttle, "Revolution of Hardcore Platform". Having been able to squeeze so many features found only full fledge ATX motherboards such as e-SATA and external clear CMOS buttons into something so diminuative, the SP35P2 Pro is certainly hardcore in its own way. With the Pro version, we also see other features not commonly found. They are, namely, the Biometric Sensor to deliver enhanced computer security and the Speed-Link. Whilst we've seen USB bridges in the early days of USB meant to replace the old LAPLINK and Serial connection file sharing, not before this have we seen such a feature being directly implemented in computer systems. The innovative Quick file sharing with the ability to enforce read/ write permissions is something that only Shuttle has thought of. Coupled with the vastly improved thermal design consisting of strategically placed fans and the heatpipe heatsink design used on the motherboard, Shuttle certainly has brought many options to bear for enthusiasts. In addition, the overclocking capabilities of the SP35P2 is impressive for an SFF. The Prima series of XPC's would certainly have no issues finding their way into LAN Parties or the online gaming realm whilst many other of their breathen would be feeling quite lonely in the living room rolling out TV serials, season after season. Its capabilities and the Wife-Acceptance-Factor of the unit places it in a segment of the market few computers save for laptops have ever ventured into before. If you're looking for a new performance computer without the risk of being booted out of the bedroom during the Christmas Season, give the SP35P2 Pro a shot and you might be pleasantly surprised.
