Why choose it

The fanless design eliminates moving parts, reducing dust ingress and ensuring silent operation—ideal for noise-sensitive environments like libraries, healthcare facilities, or conference rooms. Its compact footprint and VESA mounting capability allow it to be hidden behind monitors or mounted on walls, saving valuable desk space. The metal housing provides excellent heat dissipation and durability for 24/7 operation.

Ideal use cases

• Digital signage and information kiosks
• Industrial automation and edge computing
• Office productivity and thin client deployments
• Home theater PC (HTPC) with silent operation
• Point-of-sale (POS) terminals

Good to know

This chassis does not include a compute module, power adapter, memory, storage, or operating system. It is a barebone enclosure designed for system integrators and advanced users who want to build a custom solution with ASUS ComputeElement modules. The front USB Type-C port supports data transfer and can be used for peripheral connectivity. Ensure the selected compute module is from the CM32, CM33, or CM64 series for proper fit and thermal performance.
