Shuttle always likes to impress the crowds at Computex 2005 with their newest products and technologies.  This year Shuttle managed to get product/signage placement just about everywhere around the show.  The press center was outfitted with forty Shuttle SB691G2 XPC systems and ultra portable XP17 17" Tough Temp LCDs.  At the Shuttle suite many products were being showcased, here are a few pictures of the most exciting things that Shuttle was displaying.

Pictured is the new Shuttle 20 inch widescreen LCD, which follows the footsteps of the XP17.  The new 20" widescreen model uses the same anti-glare tempered glass as the XP17, which is extremely durable.  Perhaps the most impressive feature of this model is its low 8 ms response time, making this a gamers dream lcd.  While the monitor uses similar design and construction to maintain its durability and portability, the convenient carrying handle was removed from this model.

SLI and Crossfire seemed to be everyone's favorite new technologies at Computex 2005.  Almost all of the big players had some sort of SLI or Crossfire demo running.  Shuttle's SLI offering is based on a new XPC model with dual PCI-E slots.  The model is not currently available, but we are told it should be released within one to two months.  Shuttle is still deciding whether or not they will be including two SLI based video cards with the unit or if it will be a complete barebones.

Later that evening Shuttle wined and dined all of their customers, friends, and media guests.  The festivities included an elegant asian style buffet, Spanish clap dancers, fire dancers, cover-band, and a beer drinking contest.
