Now is the perfect time to experience silent computing. Building a passively-cooled computer has never been so easy. You'll just need the
Akasa Euler chassis, an
8th Gen NUC,
reliable memory,
solid-state storage, and an hour or two of your time. Fans are noisy and prone to failure. Just get rid of them, and never look back.
Update: The Akasa Turing is flying off the shelves, buy it on
eBay,
Newegg,
Performance PC's,
Quiet PC,
Amazon.de,
Amazon.fr,
Caseking, or
Scan.co.uk.
