Fanless Aleutia F5 Slim Now Available for Pre Order – No Moving Parts, Fits in Your Hand

23 February 2009 in Mini PC by michael | No comments

Aleutia F5

Sharing the same internal spec as the model below (1.0 GHz Via Eden ULV CPU, 1GB DDR2 400MHz RAM, 12V DC Input, 10 Watts) but in a slimmer case since it’s designed to accomodate 2.5″ laptop drives. So we can’t offer a Terabyte of storage as standard but we can use extremly fast solid state drives to offer a tiny PC with no moving parts that’s not crummy when it comes to performance. And the thick anodized aluminum case puts the Mac Mini to shame.

Standard configurations will be:

  • 8GB CF Card with Ubuntu or Crunchbang (a lighterweight version of Ubuntu that includes Flash)
  • 30GB OCZ SSD (155 MB/s Read Speed, 90 MB/s Write Speed)

Hard Drives:

  • 40GB SATA Seagate 5400RPM Drive (faster than CF card, cheaper than SSD)
  • 250GB 7200RPM Western Digital Scorpio Black Drive
  • 500GB 5400RPM Western Digital Scorpio Blue Drive

Email sales at aleutia dot com to place pre orders and we can send a Paypal Invoice over. Shipping in UK is £7.50 to Europe it’s €15, and pretty much anywhere else is $30.

The Aleutia F5 – 2TB Windows Home Server That Fits in Your Hand

15 February 2009 in Mini PC, windows home server by michael | 3 comments

Our fanless F5 will be released for sale online at the end of the month and boasts a 1.5GHz Via Eden Ultra Low Voltage CPU and 1GB of RAM. It has a 12V DC input and has a thick solid aluminium case that is unbreakable. We’ll be releasing two seperate cases – one that can take a 2.5″ drive and one that can take a 3.5″ drive (pictured). Since it has a SATA-I controller, the smaller one can use ultra high-speed SSDs from OCZ and Patriot to serve as a rugged, stand-alone PC with no moving parts that runs Vista, Windows 7, or Linux.

But what’s really exciting about the F5 is that with space for a 3.5″ desktop drive it can serve as a Windows Home Server that is tiny compared to options from HP, Fujitsu, or even Tranquil PC. Western Digital’s Caviar Green drives are now available in 2TB size, though at an early adopter price.

However, we’ll be offering the system equipped with a 1TB WD drive for only $499 ($395 without any drive). Power consumption comes in at just 17 Watts, compared to 40W for a Mac Mini (that only goes up to 160GB storage and has a fan).

The 2.5″ system will be $375 and $449 with a 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache drive running Ubuntu 8.10.
