Aleutia P1 – Sealed, Fanless Dual Core Atom with 2GB RAM, 6-26V Input, and No Moving Parts!
Already in use in Nigeria, our new P1 is passively cooled with a grooved case that serves as a heatsink. You see even low power processors like the Intel Atom generate some heat (about 2 Watts) as does the onboard graphics controller (about 8 Watts). Normally, a small fan would keep the system cool but fans suck in dust over time which clogs their blades and makes them noisy.
Ultimately, all hardware fails but hard drives and fans fail a lot sooner since they are spinning around a few thousand times a minute.
For our P1, we developed a custom heatpipe that removes the heat from the two 1.6GHz Atom CPUs and the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 chipset and carries it to the case's top where all those grooves provide extra surface area and allow the heat to be dissipated. And though there is space for a 2.5" laptop drive we are also going to offer this with an OCZ solid state drive.
That makes the P1 the first dual core system on the market that has no moving parts!
Crucially, we've also outfitted it with a Wide Range 6-26V DC Input so that off grid users don't have to be too fussy about how precise their voltage is.
Goes on sale next week.

Now approaching the 3rd week in March and still no product.

Wow, this looks like a very impressive product. Nice to see just about every thought imaginable going into it, such as heat pipes and SSDs.
Any plans for including an SD slot as well? It’s a nice way of adding 8gb of storage at a time in a very small amount of space.

Proud to announce it’s in stock and available for order!

No SD slot yet, though that would be handy. However, there is an internal IDE interface so you could put in a Disk on Module (or use the extra SATA-II port for such), though that’s more expensive.
We’ve had in rural Nigeria since the beginning of the year as an always-on server at a school (no air conditioning and running on solar) and it’s been performing without issue, which is nice.

Finally up and available for sale (and in stock!).
May 12th, 2009 - 09:53
thanks, and it’s not available on the site!

Is is available to order online and ship to Spain?
Is it possible to upgrade to 4GB RAM by the end user?
If it is ordered without hard drive (only solid state drive), will it be possible to install later a hard drive? 3,5″ or 2,5″?
