High Performance 8th Gen NUC with fanless cooling
This fanless Intel® NUC PC brings a new stylish design combined with excellent fanless cooling, enabling the latest high performance i5 to be enjoyed in total silence. Whether you are an audiophile seeking an elegant Roon server or a video creator requiring a powerful but silent workhorse for your office, this PC can be the solution.
For the first time a fanless NUC PC has the same level of performance as our "desktop" class of fanless PCs. This NUC has a flexible design that enables horizontal or vertical standing, and includes all the latest features... quad core i5, ultra fast PCIe SSD, Iris Plus Graphics with HDMI 2.0, Thunderbolt 3, 4 x USB 3.1 Gen 2, Dual Band Wireless and Bluetooth 5.0.
The memory is configurable up to 32GB. A single M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD is fitted, up to 2TB SSD is available. We also include an aluminium cooling block for the SSD that is unique to Atlast! Solutions, or the option for a low-profile SSD cooler if you want to use a 2.5" disk.
We recommend the vertical standing position for the PC, as this aids airflow and cooling. The 4 feet can optionally be used on the base to enable horizontal standing.

Configured to your specification
Please contact us if you want a custom configuration not in the options lists. We can also pre-install with Windows or other Operating Systems.
If you choose the Windows installation option, as well as installing on the internal SSD drive, so it is ready to use out of the box, we also include a USB memory stick with the Windows installation, so you can repair Windows or rebuild Windows from scratch if you need to. You also get the standard Windows DVD and licence key sticker.
You need to supply your own Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. Please contact us if you need any recommendations or want custom additions bundled with your order.
