The Intel Shuttle Entertainment Area drew large crowds / Huge interest in new products

"Our presence at the 2005 CeBIT was a huge success for us" according to Bastian Froehlig, PR Manager for Shuttle Computer Handels GmbH. The leading designer and manufacturer of Small Form Factor (SFF) computers and accessories, Shuttle had greatly increased its offering this year. The Intel Shuttle Entertainment Area was especially popular, with more than 60 Shuttle XPC Systems available for visitors keen on playing such popular games as World of Warcraft and FIFA 2005.
The systems were fully configured speed demons with hardware and software coming from Intel, ATI, Western Digital, Cherry, Vivendi Universal, and Corsair Memory. It was on these high-end systems that program highlights like the Intel Friday Night Game and exhibition matches between the gaming clans "Schroet Kommando" and "Les Seules," the multi-talented Scandinavian women, took place. It wasn't only about the gaming however -- with daily giveaways and plenty of dancing on stage. "We met our goal of reaching out to end users" according to Froehlig.

Shuttle's new products were also well worth the price of admission. With its code-named MCE-01
