     The XPC SG33G50 
      has two 240 pin DDR2 DIMM slots which accommodate up to 4GB of DDR2-400/667/800 memory in 
      a dual channel configuration. The drive cage sit directly above the 
      memory slots, so tall memory like Corsair's DOMINATOR line will not 
      fit.

    |        The floppy drive is basically is dead, but 
      if you're still clinging to yours Shuttle do include a header for one. The floppy cable is 
      not installed into the system by default, you'll have to route that 
      yourself. It can be quite tight so use some patience during installation. 
 
 The drive cage is nothing but a single piece of shaped aluminum. 
      There are various holes for mounting floppy, hard disks and optical 
      drives. At the bottom is a transparent piece of 
      plastic which acts as a cable catch and helps keep cables off of 
      the northbridge heatsink. |

        The heatsink 
      which is included with the Shuttle SG33G50 SFF system is a custom 
      thermal solution. 
 A large, but very thin copper 
      heatspreader makes contact with three heatpipes which conduct the heat to 
      an array of aluminum cooling fins at the rear of the system. The heatsink 
      is held to the chassis via four spring-tensioned 
  screws. |  
 
  
    | 
         The 92mm PWM fan is housed inside 
      an aluminum shroud which directs all the hot air from within the XPC SG33G50 system 
      through the fins of the heatsink and out the back. There are rubber washers 
      sandwiched between the shroud and the chassis to reduce vibration and 
      noise. |  
 
  
    |     The Shuttle XPC SG33G50 supports DTS connect 
      HDMI.
