Akasa Kepler R - for Redundant PSU

Akasa, a leading provider of thermal solutions, has expanded its Kepler fanless case series with the Kepler R, a 2U rack-mountable fanless case for Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Building on the Kepler design, the Kepler R introduces a 120W redundant, hot-swappable ATX power supply unit (PSU), allowing system integrators to keep their systems running even if one PSU module fails. This makes it ideal for critical applications, including enterprise servers, embedded computing, industrial control systems, audiovisual equipment, and medical devices that require silent operation, 24/7 reliability and zero downtime.

The chassis is compatible with Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards with Intel® LGA1851 and LGA1700 sockets, supporting Intel® Core™ (12th / 13th / 14th Gen) and Core™ Ultra (15th Gen) processors up to 35W TDP.

Built with a fully fanless design, it uses a high-performance aluminium thermal module and dual copper heatpipes to transfer heat efficiently from the CPU to the external aluminium fins, increasing surface area for rapid dissipation into the surrounding air without any moving parts.

The front interfaces include two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and four 2.5” SATA SSD/HDD drive bays with tool-free, lockable, hot-swap trays. The rear features support for up to four low-profile PCIe expansion cards. Two pull-out handlebars offer easy installation and servicing when used in standard 19” server racks.

The Kepler R integrates a 120W redundant AC-to-DC power supply, delivered across two hot-swappable 1U fanless modules with active load sharing. When one module fails, load transfers automatically to the second unit, keeping the system operational while the faulty module is replaced.

The PSU accepts 90–264 VAC and 190–310 VDC input, covering mains power systems worldwide and high-voltage DC bus deployments, and outputs the full ATX rail set: +3.3V, +5V, +5V standby, +12V, -12V. It is 80 PLUS Silver certified, achieving up to 89% efficiency at typical load, and rated for operation from -5°C to 50°C. Built-in over-voltage, over-current, over-temperature and short circuit protection safeguards the PSU and connected components. It has a mean time between failures (MTBF) rating of 100,000 hours, equivalent to approximately 11.4 years of continuous operation, and carries UL/cUL, TUV, CB, CE, CCC and FCC certifications.

Storage-friendly Akasa Euler

Unlike their previous Mini-ITX case, the Euler CMX which only supports M.2 SSDs, the Euler MX2 supports two additional 2.5-inch SATA drive bays. The thicker chassis (272.6 x 205 x 92.6 mm) also comes with an internal 220W DC-to-DC converter designed to maintain stable performance under temperatures ranging from -25°C to 70°C. The Euler MX2 is designed for Intel's 35W processors (8th-15th Gen) up to the Core Ultra 9 285T.

Akasa's beefiest Pi case yet

The Akasa Fermi CM5 is a slim 1U fanless aluminum case designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 paired with the CM5 IO Board. It features a passive cooling design with a custom thermal module that supports up to a 10W TDP silently (the Fermi CM5 could easily handle the Intel N150). The 185 x 93 x 43.6 mm enclosure offers full access to all on-board I/O connections while providing internal clearance for an M.2 NVMe SSD, hardware expansions, and a 40-pin Raspberry Pi HAT.

My ultimate HTPC

"The Akasa case is great, albeit a bit larger than I expected. It is a solid chunk of aluminum weighing over 1.5 kilograms. The cooling capacity of the case is better than I expected and better than the original NUC case with a fan. With the original NUC case setup the idle temperature was often around 100 F degrees and could hit over 130 F degrees which kicked in the fan noise. With the new Akasa case the idle temperature is around 83 F degrees and around 100 F degrees during high bitrate playback, even with MPEG2 files which I am not using HW decoding. Many times it remains under 90 degrees during playback. The external antennas perform far better than the stock NUC setup. I can see my neighbor's WiFi SSIDs from over 100 ft away with a moderate signal level."
