Shuttle XH81 And XH81V Mini PCs Include Optical Drive Support

Shuttle has introduced a couple new miniature PCs that offer a few more features than your average computer in the category. Users have different options to choose from, and among them is space for a DVD/Blu-ray drive, something not often found on modern small-form-factor offerings.

The XH81 and XH81V are both barebones PCs with support for Intel's Haswell processors, as well as an optical disk drive via a slim ODD bay. Both drives have two rear COM ports, while the XH81 model in particular has an additional 3 ports on the front.

Some other features include both DisplayPort and HDMI, support for 4k video, and two Mini-PCIe slots. The XH81 model itself can be configured with either two 2.5-inch drives and an ODD or three 2.5-inch drives, either SSD or HDD. This model can also operate in temperatures as cold as 32F.

There are two front designs that be used, and support for different accessories like a VESA mount. The PCs have launched in Europe; it isn't clear whether a US launch is also in the plans. Check out the video below for more details.
