Foxconn finally releases its fanless NanoPC


This nice project we had the chance to scoop up in may has been a train wreck from almost day one. After several redesigns (a new CPU, a new power button, and possibly a new cooling system) the final product is here at last.

Well, half of it. The AMD E450 version is nowhere to be found (too hot for such a small heatsink?)

"Minicomputers in the past have attracted much attention because of the compactness (size of new products - only 190 x 135 x 38 mm), low power consumption and low cost. Foxconn engineers reworked the design Nano PC to use the new cooling system, and now they got one more advantage - no noise, because inside there is no fan. The choice of memory and hard drive is still left to the user with free slots."
