Fanless Nano-ITX Motherboard Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the small-and-quiet-isn't-a-bad-way-to-start dept.

TheEagleCD writes "The first look at the fanless EPIA-N8000E Nano-ITX motherboard has just hit the internet. While some skeptics commented that this board is only 'for those who like VIA or want an even smaller footprint than a nano-notebook,' others say that 'the size, heat output and noise levels alone will recommend it to many projects.' It will be interesting to see how the market really receives this first Nano-ITX motherboard which is the de-facto successor of the Mini-ITX form-factor which made a strong statement by being seen on many company booths at this year's CeBIT."

    I've always wanted to run Linux on my coffee mug. And I can use the heat from the CPU to keep the coffee warm.

      even better, you could write a script that regulates the load on the processor to keep your drink at a given temperature!

  2. When they will deliver by arivanov · · Score: 3, Insightful

    OK, fine, when it will hit http://www.linitx.com/ or http://www.icp-epia.co.uk/ or some other place where I can actually buy it. Or this is expoware same as their SMP Eden platform. I have been waiting for them to ship it for god knows how long now as it is exactly what I need to build a cost/power effective SMP development/testing rig for the developers where I work now.

      In stock at Logic Supply. In the UK, Mini-ITX.com claims to have limited supplies on hand.
