An aluminum pebble

Here’s our design concept for a fanless, fin-less mini PC. Let’s face it: the mainstream market isn't a fan of aggressive cooling fins and industrial-looking tech. Enter our aluminum pebble. Weighing in at 1.5kg, this sleek chassis is designed to passively cool low-power processors like the Intel N150. It’s built for web browsing, office tasks, light editing, and 4K streaming, done in complete silence and absolute style. Would you put this on your desk?

$125,000 RAM kit

This is it, we’ve reached peak AI bubble. For the bargain price of $125,000, this NEMIX 4TB DDR5 kit is the ultimate flex for enterprise data centers, or anyone who wants to open a million Google Chrome tabs just because they can. Boasting a staggering 4,096 gigabytes of DDR5 memory, it’s designed for heavy-duty server workloads and training AI models, though its CAS latency of 52 means it prioritizes massive capacity over raw speed.

Streacom SG10 as a complete PC

Previously exclusive to the original backers of the 2016 Calyos Kickstarter campaign, the Streacom SG10 is now available to everyone as a complete PC, in both Intel and AMD configurations. In the fanless PC world, the SG10 stands entirely in a class of its own. It features cutting-edge loop heat pipe technology that passively cools up to 600W of combined heat, eliminating (optional) fans for near-silent operation. This level of ultra-premium hardware comes with a matching price tag, starting at a painfully steep $4,300.

Minisforum fanless NAS up close

The Minisforum PC / NAS is the most beautiful piece of hardware we've seen in a long time. Coming in September, the S5 is powered by an Intel Core Series 3 Wildcat Lake processor, supports up to 16GB of DDR5 RAM and five M.2 SSDs. The headline feature of the machine is of course its completely fanless, all-aluminum chassis, making it quiet enough to sit directly on a nightstand, or in a home theater setup without causing a distraction.

GEEKOM's first fanless PC

The GEEKOM IX12 is an Intel N95 mini PC engineered with a unique-looking fanless chassis. The compact 5.2 × 5.7 × 2.0" (132.1 × 145 × 52.5 mm) system features quad Intel 2.5G LAN ports, an interesting 5G SIM card slot, five USB ports, HDMI, and DisplayPort. The 8GB / 256GB Windows 11 Pro model is available for $349.

Surprise NUC 16 launched

Out of nowhere, ASUS just announced the NUC 16, a budget-friendly alternative to the NUC 16 Pro. While the Pro version runs on a 25W Panther Lake-H CPU, the standard model scales things back with a power-efficient 15W Wildcat Lake processor. Honestly, we're loving this move. It brings the NUC back to what it used to be: affordable, low-power, and fanless-friendly. The NUC 16 only loses a Thunderbolt 4 port and a couple of USB 3.2 ports compared to the Pro version, while CPU options include the Core 3 Processor 304, Core 5 Processor 320, and Core 7 Processor 350.
