Looks good seems the psu is getting more amd more powerful with each revision.

Any idea if the psu is backwards compatible with older models?

Bit of a beast.

Is Shuttle cutting down on manufacturing cost, as its high-end Shuttle you expect it to be made of aluminium and not steel. I wonder if the reduced cost benefits the end consumer? Probably not.

The RAM on that is going to get very toasty. Bank closest to fan might be ok but second bank looks short of airflow.

Could do better with Silverstone SG05 and more care with the cable routing

There is also other signs of cost cutting too when compared to the SX58H7:

Ebuyer are selling the SX58J3 for around £440:

This is around the same price as the SX58H7.

Thats gotta get pretty hot surely?

The problem with Shuttle is that they always charge far too much for their XPC barebones. Smaller is nice but they charge an unnecessary premium.

If the video card (such as the Radeon HD 5870) has DHES then no. Almost all the hot air from the GPU will be exhausted out of the case.

If the video card doesn't have DHES then it will be a toaster oven.
