Re: Tranquilpc T3

The eBox is actually not fanless (the CPU may be but the eBox itself is 
not), it has a heatsink with a fan on the top.  The heatsink + fan is 
very much like a vga cooler.

When you power it on, there is a single blue LED on the front which 
tells you its on. It can also withstand ambient temperatures exceeding 40C.

Its greatest strength is integrated solution with its low price :)... 
imho 170-175 Euros a little.... much but I don't pretend to know the 
market dynamics of Europe so perhaps thats a reasonable price. As an 
example though, you can get these FOB AU @ roughly 130 Euros.

One disadvantage of the eBox is its plastic outer casing which doesn't 
shield it from strong electro magnetic interference which become an 
issue if you plan to run these inside a manufacturing factory with large 
heavy machines.

Apart from that, its a very stable thin client, perfect when coupled 
with pxes (with the exception of audio which i have never tried, 
everything is detected properly and setup correctly).
