Welcome to Myce’s review of Shuttle’s Barebone DS57U PC
(hereafter referred to as the DS57U).

The DS57U, as supplied by Shuttle, consists of a metal case
with a pre-installed mainboard, processor, cooling system, external power
adapter, and W-LAN.  This leaves a small number of components for the customer
to add to meet their specific needs – memory (low voltage) 1.35V SO-DIMM (max 2
x 8GB DDR3L-1333/1600), a 2.5” storage device (HDD or SDD), one mini-PCIe card
or mSATA module, a keyboard and mouse (or alternative) and an operating system.

The CPU is an ultra low voltage, Intel 5th
generation ‘Broadwell’, Celeron 3205U with 2 cores clocked at 1.5GHz.
