Setup a slim fanless PC - Shuttle XS35GS V3L

(因為世界上PC使用者很多人用英文,所以就自行用破英文翻一次,以前我待美國,他們的進階使用者也是很需要這類資訊。不過我覺得奇怪的是這類的文章,應該是由官方自行去推廣吧,浩鑫的行銷和客服真的做的不好,唉...怎麼需要我這種小老百姓來發動支持台灣貨?算了,誰叫我也挺愛國的)

My workplace has much dust, so PC fan ie easy to be broke, after few desktops and fans out of order, I decide to try Shuttle XS35GS V3L.
CPU: Intel Atom D2550
Graphic: AMD Radeon HD 7410M
Video output: D-sub x1, HDMI x2
inside wireless card
5 usb port
1 SD card

The sieze is really small. And, it is very quite, because whole pc has no fan. it use heat sink, so the shell has many holes.

I use it in the workplace, so I only install DVD. Due to the office document, it is ok to install Blue-ray player.
I install 4G ram, 500G hard disk, DVD player, without moniter nor key board, the total price is about US $367.

I want to use multiple boot, so I use "spfdisk" to make boot menu.
After fail many times, this people's iso file works, and spfdisk works well (support 4G ram)

I isntall system and make boot menu at the same time, however, i think it is better to make a boot multiple boot menu, it may save more time.

The next, install Windows XP and Windows 7, thie process was not fine, spent a lot of time on it.
XS35GS V3L use CPU Atom D2550, it is not fast, so if there is any problem happen during the intallation, it wast a lot of time to rework.
For example, when I installed Windows 7, it shows error message 0x80070017 many times.
I burned many DVD. Finally I low down the speed of DVD rom, then it works.

Windows XP doesn't support SATA hard disk. I have to combine driver by "nLite", The drivers is in office CD rom, just link it.

CD path is as following: CD:\Model\XS35V300\AHCI Floppy\X86
Choose both of iaAHCI.inf and iaStor.inf, then nLite will show many hard ware. I don't know which one is correct, so I choose all of them.
Use nLite to make a Windows XP install CD, then this "Windows XP" can works well with SATA

Remember go to BIOS setting, set hard disk from IDE to SATA.

However, these is a troble with XP SP2.
It shows there are tow "High Definition Audio" can't find drivers. Even I use office CD rom intall , can't work.
Then, I path one driver link to HDMI of AMD VGA driver, it work!!! Path is as following CD:\Model\XS35V300\ATI_VGA\XP\Packages\Drivers\WDM\HDMI\XP
But,.... the other one High Definition Audio still can't work.
Some people said I have to install Windows Update , I tried, but it can't work.
I make a phone call to shuttle office, the support service is unfriendly. He just tole me to update XP to sp3....... if I had had sp3 package, I would did. The shtlle office should supply more solution.....

I suggest intall VGA drive firstly, and then install others. Because after intall VGA driver, there are not so many problems on audio in HDMI.
I will suggest shuttle supply more friendly user supprt in the future. The people who will use XP usually has special tasks to do. The company who can work fine withe software firstly, and then can work fine with hardware. (like ASUS, it is good in Linux, so their Android tablet and smart phone are awesome.)



There is no problem to install Windows 7 driver. It is comfortable.


I choose "PopPlayer" to be a video player, because it hsupport Video Acceleration.

Remember! you have to set DXVA funciont on popplaer setting, or it will not work.
ATI is really awesome.

Even run 1920x804 movie, CPU only load 8% ! because of powerful AMD graphic ic.
However... CPU is not so powerful, so when I am watching movie, and moveing mouse and opening other windows, it will become delay in that moment.

Flash player on Youtube also have acceletaion. I can watch HD video without problem.
CPU would load 30%~40%. 720P is fine, 1080P is acceptable. The reasone I use "acceptable" is when I wath Youtube 1080P video, if I move mouse or switch winodws, 1080P video shows lag.

CPU load is 26%.......and, Jay Chou is a lucky man ....




Conclusion:
1. If you want super quite PC, this ia good choice. It is a fanless PC. If you use SSD, the it is wonderful in 0db.
2. Intel Atom D2550 is not very powerful. Luckly, AMD graphic is poweful. So, the sysem is smooth in works. I think it is important to have to "smoothly" use a PC. (Maybe the reason is I use 4G ram). I think it good for office PC; It is not good in game and multiple work applicaton.
3. Size is small, just as a external CD rom.
4. You can use it on living room to as a video player. Graphic ic is efficiently.
5. Use Browser which support hardware accelation. Like Firefox 19 or IE9. It works fast on browsing.
6. Shuttle support service is not good~~~~~~
7. I will suggest to buy Atom with indepent graphic ic. It is not cost extra mcuh money. With graphic ic, it is not only good in watching video, but also good on smoth work.
8. I afraid antivirus program delay poor Atom CPU, so I use "Avira Free Antivirus". I doesn't delay my PC, good job! ( I found McAfee use more resource)
