Fanless Sandy Bridge PC: Core i3 2100T in Aleutia H3 Media PC

Of all our specialist PCs, the H3 Media PC probably gets the most positive reviews and feedback. It offers powerful performance in a really small package. The more expensive Mac Mini may have a beautiful design but it also comes with a two year old Core 2 Duo processor and maxes out at 2GB of RAM. Our H3 features an energy efficient Sandy Bridge CPU that came out 10 weeks ago and can go up to 16GB of RAM (4GB RAM standard). Because the dual core Intel i3 2100T processor is only 35 TDP, we've managed to keep it passively cooled using a low profile Titan heatsink (rated to 65W) which you can see in the 360 degree view (flash required). The motherboard is an Intel DH67CF, the Sandy Bridge Cougar Falls board with HDMI, DVI-I, and Display Port connectivity.

We'll be offering it with the new range of Intel SSDs including the 320 40GB, 80GB, and 160GB SSDs and the SATA 6 Gbps 510 120GB drive.

This has been tested stably in our lab at 30 C though CPU temperature at that point is mid 70s C. It's designed for climate controlled homes or offices where temperatures average 20 C. For the embedded market, we will be releasing a larger chassis with grooves that serve as a heatsink and that can operate up to 40 C.
