Video is the only shortfall for me

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2014

I built this to integrate into my home theater setup. The build was easy with Windows 8.1 64bit. 4gb ram, ssd, external optical drive. Once no internal moving parts, silent operation.

The sound is good, though two channel. I'm ok with that in my setup.

The included drivers are necessary add the Windies ones were not adequate.

The video is a weak link, meaning the results are limited or the timing isn't recognized by my tv. 1080p is window boxed. I run 720p and it's fine except Windows complains the resolution is to low.

I also couldn't get the bios to boot off the external optical drive after initial install. It was frustrating, but I don't need to do it often. I added a small Logitech combo keyboard/touch pad and it works well.

The boot is ridiculously fast.

Not a home run, but a darn good silent machine.

Doesnt work

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2020

For the past year and a half I've tried everything form new peripherals, hard drive, and even OS.. I would like to know if I could be compensated for these headaches,time, and ; I cant even begin to tell you how much I've spent on this system. My patience has worn thin. The computer will suddenly black th screen and I have to hard boot it by unplugging it. Have you heard any other complaintss or disappointments? Because I;v had it with the use of an unreliable computer, not just a POS,

Perfect starter pc

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is my first barebones pc, this PC has exceeded my expectations, for 200 bucks, you get the PC itself, ac cord, psu, bracket for hard drive mount, bracket for odd mount, and a driver CD, which may also install bloatware. What I installed to my pc is 2gb of ram(4-8 gb is the supported amount, wd 160 gb hard drive, a odd, a 8gb flash drive(used with Windows ready boost), and windows 10.
Pros: Supports Windows 10, odd drive compatible, small, fanless, 24/7 operation, gigabit lan, WiFi bgn included, very good for games that run more on CPU, HDMI, VGA, display port, good design of case, and boots efi.
Cons: CPU heat is about 39˚c to 47˚c, does not come with vesa bracket or second hdd add ons, power brick, requires 1.35v for ram, one USB 3.0 port, bad location of WiFi antenna, and does not support legacy boot.
Overall, the cons really not a problem, it's an awesome pc, it would be perfect for a small sever, and it is a perfect start for a person like me to find parts for this PC.

Powerful value for a nettop.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2015

I've been buying these for years (the last one being an XS35V2). This latest iteration has a fairly powerful processor for a nettop. The only issue I've had with this model is it requires a VGA dongle to run headless (I use it as a small Debian server). This could be BIOS related so a future update could fix this. Otherwise another solid effort from Shuttle.

DS77U3 is a very nice, quiet, small form factor PC

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2018

Style: DS77U3Verified Purchase

Considering that you can simply toss in some 2400 speed memory and a NVMe M.2 card and you're up & running with quite a nice speed overall. If you want a fast, but lower cost drive, go with the Corsair MP300. Although 'only' 2 channel PCI, it still beats the top sata SSDs.

Be aware that some of the 4 channel NVMe drives will show up as undetected in the BIOS. But as long as you have the M.2 slot configured for PCIe mode and the boot type set to UEFI, windows can see the drive. (Strange, confusing, but that was my experience using BIOS 1.08, the latest at this time.)

Love the fanless form factor.

XPC Slim is Phat

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Awesome little barebones, works flawlessly. I install Linux on it and haven't looked back. Don't know what other owners issues are (maybe Windows?). It is fast, flexible and works great as a desktop computer. Although a dual core it is quick (2GB x 2 dual core). I would highly recommend this little computer.

Just fun but do not under estimate what it can do!

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

I love this little thing. It works very well under Linux distros and Windows. With plenty of ports (even a displayport) it is a communicative little thing that is very easy on the power draw. You can run it all day cheaper than a light bulb. We mounted it to the back of its monitor so no foot print! With a SSD installed it is silent as only the CDROM makes noise when being operated. The internal WiFi is adequate but unless you have a strong signal to your AP I would recommend plugging in the LAN cable.

It's also pretty small so it doesn't take up much room

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018

Style: DS77UVerified Purchase

I'm currently using this with a 4GB stick of DDR4 RAM and a 500GB HDD. I use it to run PFsense and it runs phenomenally. It uses Intel NICs so no issues with stability. Make sure to Update the BIOS then disable the serial ports in there before booting from USB to install PFsense. It's also pretty small so it doesn't take up much room.

64-bit Ubuntu installed

So far i have no disappointment with the product. I installed Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS and all the drivers checks out. Never expect this unit to be so neat and quiet ( fanless) I bought this unit as a preliminary file server at home and the fanless design allows me to run this 24/7 with no issues
