The HDMI king

The Maxtang SXRL-20 is a fanless, embedded mini-PC primarily designed for digital signage and multitasking environments, featuring an all-aluminum metal chassis for passive cooling and silent operation. This ultra-slim PC is powered by a 15W Intel Alder Lake-U processor. The SXRL-20 supports up to 64GB of dual-channel SO-DIMM DDR4 memory and provides expandable storage options through multiple M.2 slots for NVMe/SATA SSDs. A key feature is its extensive display connectivity, boasting four HDMI 2.0 outputs and an optional HDMI 2.0 input. The i5-1235U model is available from $429, while the i7-1255U barebone (featuring HDMI IN) starts at $469.

Shuttle DL40N pictured

Shuttle is readying its new entry-level fanless PC powered by Intel's Twin Lake CPUs, including the N150, N250, or N350. At 190 x 165 x 43mm the DL40N is significantly larger than most fanless mini PCs but does offer a richer connectivity, including eight USB ports, three storage units, full-size DisplayPort, HDMI, and dual-LAN. Previous generation, the reliable N100-powered DL30N, is currently priced under $300.

Second 32GB option

Breaking Intel's supposed 16GB RAM limit, the N150-powered MeLE Quieter launched with 32GB of RAM, and now the N100 Quieter follows suit, offering 32GB of soldered memory for $279.99. Interestingly, this latest N100 release is priced higher than the more powerful N150 version, which currently sells for $259.99.

ZOTAC's new lineup

ZOTAC showcases its N150-powered ZBOX CI345 and CI338 at Computex Taipei. We do like the CI345 heat sink case approach, but ZOTAC's track record makes us cautious about its availability. The more powerful CI675 and CI655 featuring 15W Arrow Lake processors are also coming soon although previous generation - announced in March 2024 - is still nowhere to be found.

Akasa's Computex booth

Akasa is more than just FanlessTech's main sponsor—they're friends. We also appreciate their commitment to providing fanless chassis at accessible price points. The company is currently showcasing their entire lineup of heat sink cases at Computex, including models for the Raspberry Pi, the NUC 15 Pro, Thin Mini-ITX motherboards, and more. We couldn't be prouder of them!

An immersed workstation

Technically, it's fanless. Enermax showcases a mind-blowing computer at COMPUTEX TAIPEI, totally immersed in non-conductive mineral oil. This beast of a machine features a 350W AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7000 CPU and can also handle four high-end GPUs. It's not practical at all, but does look like something out of a steampunk movie. Update: According to Tom's Hardware, this $50,000 system utilizes a two-phase liquid coolant, which can be described as a solvent.
