History

David and Simon Yu incorporated Shuttle in 1983 in Taiwan under the name Holco (浩鑫).[citation needed]

Products

From 1987 to 2004, Shuttle manufactured AT, Baby AT, ATX, and Micro ATX motherboards. Among Shuttle's most popular motherboards were the HOT-603 Socket 7 motherboard based on the AMD640 chipset, and the AK31 Socket A motherboard based on the VIA KT266 and KT266A chipsets.

Shuttle's primary product is the XPC. The Shuttle XPC's design goal is to provide the power and features of a typical desktop PC in a fraction of the space. The XPC consists of a custom small-footprint motherboard, a rectangular chassis typically consisting of aluminum, a "Shuttle ICE" heatpipe-augmented heatsink, and a compact power supply. In 2004, Shuttle began manufacturing fully assembled PC systems.

The Shuttle XP17 is a portable 17" LCD introduced in 2004. The XP17 is targeted at LAN gaming and other activities requiring a portable, high performance monitor. The XP17 won the Red Dot Award for industrial design in June 2005.[citation needed]

Awards
