Totally silent, 100% fanless
Just like the Micro and the Classic, the Mini uses heatpipes to cool the processor and graphics chips and therefore fans are not needed. This is an ideal situation when you consider that more and more people are now using PCs as their main source of media in their homes. The last thing you need is a noisy media PC when you are trying to watch a film or listen to music in a quiet environment.
The HFX® Mini Metal heatsink case is a very slim and compact media PC case with a unique design and a truly silent passive cooling system. With its dimensions the HFX® Mini Metal fits perfectly into any home HiFi environment. Due to the large heatsinks it will cool almost any system passively without any fan noise. The HFX® Mini Metal combines performance with very low power consumption.
The front cover shows only two buttons and a opening for a slot loading DVD burner. The customary USB, Firewire and audio ports are all available. Also visible is the IR receiver and LED lights for power and hard drive activity. All in all, this gives the Mini Metal its gorgeous looks.
The HFX® Mini Metal supports and includes power saving technologies, which ensure highest performance at lowest power consumption. The HFX® Mini Metal is totally passively cooled without the need for any fans. Additionally the hard disks and DVD are noise isolated. The DVD burner is noise isolated in a special silent box and connected with the case heatsinks via copper plates to cool down the drive. A special HDD silent box is used. The box supports up to two hard disks which are cooled by copper plates that connect to the outer case heatsinks. An additional hard disk is placed next to the DVD. The power supply is fanless and external, just like laptops.
