The XPC SN95G5 is not the first AMD Athlon 64 barebone system
from Shuttle, but it is the first one to use a Socket 939 motherboard. This
is of particular interest to the SPCR community because of the high performance
and low power consumption 90nm Winchester core AMD Athlon 64 processors available in the 939 socket. By combining top-of-the-line processor support with the well developed
nVIDIA nForce 3 Ultra chipset, Shuttle has made it possible to build a truly high-end Small Form Factor
PC. It is very small and looks really good.
Simple, sleek, and small; marginally bigger than their Zen model.
The obligatory full-color packaging with a carry handle.
Accessories include all the instructions, cords, manuals, and
software you need to be up-and-running quickly.
Manuals, cables, CDs and knick-knacks galore.

One departure from most of the previous Shuttles is the absence of onboard video.
It is simply not available as part of the nVIDIA nForce 3 Ultra chipset. Anyone who wants to build a high-performance
system will not settle for integrated-quality video anyway. On the plus side, this system's 240W supply will be able to power
a top-of-the-line AGP video card.
