Title: Question to the guys in UK
Post by: rednus on April 14, 2009, 06:13:05 PM
Guys, I heard from a friend that a company in MK makes fanless slim line PCs, that I can use as MD's. Does anyone know the name of the company?

Thanks
rednus

Not sure about MK but in Chelmsford there is Convergent Home Technologies.  They sell a number of devices for use as MD's take a look at their page on the Wiki

Hi Rednus,

Just to correct you a little ;-)

We dont sell individual MD's...we're not in that market really. We like to sell fully supported systems to our customers. We do build/sell systems using Eee Box B202 & B206's and also Eee Top 1602's... we do not currently install systems using MSI Wind based hardware. We also build our own Core's and MD's - see our site for details/data sheets on the NC100, MM400, MM600 etc. The NC100 & MM600 (a MD based on the same chassis) are silent, fanless, passively cooled designs built in-house.

...If your just looking for MD's to build into a system then you should also look at the Acer Aspire Revo (we will be testing this soon...but we expect it to be compatible) as this is the first nVidia Ion based machine to hit the market - http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/9606798/Acer-Aspire-Revo-Intel-Atom-N230-1-6GHz-1GB-8GB-SSD-Linux-Desktop-PC/Product.html (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/9606798/Acer-Aspire-Revo-Intel-Atom-N230-1-6GHz-1GB-8GB-SSD-Linux-Desktop-PC/Product.html). As soon as we have tested this new line from Acer we will report here on it - so you might want to wait ;-)

All the best

Andrew

Hi Rednus,

You friend is probably talking about X-Case (http://www.xcase.co.uk/), they do quite a few different types of cases including slim ones.

Regards

Richard

Hi Andrew,

thanks for the explanation. Sorry, I did mean that Dianemo use modified eee box and others and supply for the installation. Also I know that you do not sell retail.

Thanks
