Powering the SS51
With an AGP slot on board, Shuttle had to be a bit more selective in their choice of components, including the power supply they used. The SS51 employs a very thin power supply manufactured by ACHME that is mounted on the right side of the case.
A small exhaust fan cools the power supply's internals and because of its size, is effectively silent (the system's main cooling fan is louder than its small fan).
Power is delivered to the motherboard through two connectors - a conventional ATX connector and a 4-pin connector carrying the ATX12V line for the CPU.

The power supply doesn't provide an incredible amount of current on its power rails, but it should be enough to cover the needs of anything you can throw at the SS51. The 200W power supply delivers 10A on the +12V and 20A on the +5V rails.
The most impressive part of the power supply is obviously its size and its ability to deliver enough current to a power hungry CPU like a 2.53GHz Pentium 4.

My advice a a Shuttle Customer... DO NOT RISK IT !There are lots of other vendors with integrity out there. The jokers I've delt with at Shuttle in the US void any warranty they claim ! Im my experience with them I can count on an unneeded flashing bios.. If thats the problem.. than your ok.. ortherwize.. you're on your own.. after a couple of attempts..forget it.. your warrantys expired !! - A Joke they play on us !
