Fanless mini pc

I have found a very huge collection full of fanless mini-pc : https://www.topminipc.com/fanless-mini-desktop-pc

They go from office to industrial form factor computers. For example this is a HYSTOU mini pc with Intel Core i7-5550U and where the main advantages are:

1. Small size: all Hystou mini pcs smaller than A4 paper, some of them only 3.5 inch size, just like the HDD sized using it traditional fat computers. Most of those small sized mini pc can be mounted to the backside of monitor, and takes almost no space of your desk, make your desk more clear and smart.
2. Durability: all those fanless mini pcs are highly intergrated, fanless design makes it runs silent and no need extra maintenance like normal fat comptuters. And most of them using aluminium alloy computer case, very durable.
3. Low power: all the Hystou mini pcs using 12V power supply, most of them power consumption from 15W to 30W, compare to 150W traditional pc’s consumption, it helps saving more than 80% energy.
4. Universal performance: Hystou mini pcs compatiable with almost all popular operating systems, such as Windows, Linux. You can use it as personal computer at home, or use it as HTPC to built your own home theater center, and also you can use it in offices, training centers, factories, internet cafe and everywhere that require computers.

Giada F210U faless mini PC

Quello dei mini PC e’ un tema che mi affascina; piccoli mostri di potenza racchiusi in pochi cm utili nei settori piu’ vari, dall’uso domestico a quello industriale.

Oggi scrivo di Giada F210U, un nuovo mini PC che supporta 3 sistemi operativi, ovvero Windows 10, Linux e Android. Giada F210U integra al suo interno un processore Intel Atom Cherry Trail x5-Z8300, CPU quad-core con clock da 1.44 GHz (fino a 1.84 GHz in boost), associato a 2 GB di RAM on-board e 32 GB di storage eMMC. Ha un gran numero di porte anteriori e posteriori. Davanti ci sono quattro porte USB (una 3.0, tre 3.0), due jack audio (audio in, audio out), ingresso microSD e un pulsante d’accensione. Sul retro invece troviamo alimentazione, HDMI, VGA ed Ethernet, oltre che un’antenna Wi-Fi. Lateralmente invece è disponibile una porta COM, per gestire il dispositivo da remoto.

Le configurazioni sono estensibili con uno storage interno via porta mSATA, montando un SSD, ed altre componenti PCI Express come un modulo 3G. Il tutto è racchiuso in un box fanless di dimensioni contenute ( 116.6 x 107.2 x 30 mm).

Il tutto sarà disponibile sul mercato ad un prezzo di partenza di 170€ tasse escluse.

Skylake Fanless mini PC

Often you need a mini PC to make routine jobs like mini web server for home or small office or carousel application on TV in window shop. Until now I used an Asus eeebox B206 based on Atom CPU.

It was slow but fanless, with wifi and Bluetooth included. It was a good horse to make hard job 24 hours a day. But now if you need more power is available a new toy : Aleutia R50 (http://www.aleutia.com/products/r50-fanless-server ). Based on Intel’s NUC (10 x 10 cm) board, the R50 provides an i3, i5 6th Generation Core Intel Processor (Skylake), Intel HD 520 or Iris 540 Graphics, up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and from 128 to 512 GB SSD in an small, fanless sealed chassis made in aluminium (16 x 11 x 3,7 cm). It use copper to achieve amazing thermal performance. The power consumption is in the idle state just 7.1 Watts. Under full CPU and GPU stress the R50 consumes just 21.3 Watts. It has Integrated 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth and 5 Year Global Warranty. Prices start from £599

E’ un PC basico. Per un Media Center bisogna aggiungere schede TV terrestri e satellitari ed un telecomando. Poi una scheda WiFi N (per usare bene il media center extender) e poi un lettore di card SD e poi … chissa’ cos’altro. Tuttavia chi ha provato a costruirsi un PC sa che e’ un po’ come cucinare, ci vogliono gli ingredienti giusti ben dosati altrimenti esce una schifezza.
