Shuttle Inc, the leading designer and manufacturer of small form factor (SFF) computers and accessories, today introduces the XPC SB86i, the first commercial application of the BTX design specification. The latest in a long line of market and industry firsts for Shuttle, the XPC SB86i resets the bar for performance, style and value in the highly competitive home, SOHO and business desktop market segments.

"Shuttle's reputation for design excellence and build quality is unmatched," said CK Hung, CEO, Shuttle. "The SB86i is the benchmark for value in the emerging BTX marketplace."

Built around the Intel(R) 915G + ICH6-R chipset, the Shuttle XPC SB86i delivers affordable, performance-based computing to the market segments where it's needed most.
