Shuttle has rolled out the XPC Barebone XB860G2, a compact workstation that sits between tiny mini‑PCs and bulky towers. The 4.7‑liter chassis hosts Intel’s B860 chipset and LGA1851 Socket 1851, giving access to the latest Arrow Lake‑S CPUs. A 90° riser grants a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, allowing dual‑slot GPUs up to 208 mm.

The barebone supports up to 96 GB of DDR5‑5600 RAM across two SO‑DIMM slots and three M.2‑2280 drives—one PCIe 5.0 x4 and two PCIe 4.0 x4 for blazing data throughput. Dual‑LAN with 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE, HDMI 2.1, HDMI 2.0, and DisplayPort 1.4a ports enable multi‑display setups, while a 180‑W external PSU and VESA mount prepare the unit for vertical or horizontal installation.

Ideal for medical imaging, edge AI, and high‑resolution digital signage, the XB860G2 bridges performance and footprint. Shuttle’s third‑generation G2 series builds on earlier XH510G2 and XH610G2 models, adopting the newest socket and memory standards to offer a long‑term platform. The kit, including a 180‑W supply, ships now through authorized distributors.

By integrating a PCIe 5.0 slot into a 4.7‑liter case, Shuttle delivers a workstation that fits into tight office spaces while still supporting demanding CAD workloads or real‑time video analytics. The inclusion of dual‑LAN and multiple display outputs ensures reliable, high‑bandwidth connectivity for security‑critical environments. Dealers can order the barebone immediately, making it a practical choice for firms seeking upgradeable, space‑saving solutions.
