Shuttle was one of the first to make the small form factor desktop computer popular long before the current nettop craze got started. So the introduction of their new Xs35 nettop is just natural progression for them.

The XS35 will have a 1.6GHz Intel Atom D510 dual core processor. It’s a barebones system, meaning you’ll have to install your own a hard drive, RAM, and operating system. There’s room for a 2.5″ hard drive and a slimline optical disc drive. It also has VGA and HDMI output, Ethernet, and 5 USB ports.

Perhaps the most exciting part is that the XS35 will also use NVIDIA GT218 graphics, which a Shuttle press release pretty explicitly says is synonymous with “NVIDIA ION 2.”

There’s no word on the price or availability yet, but it will be on display next week at CeBit.
