Too bad the Gen11 Tiger Lake NUCs never reached volume production. While I managed to land one (even at a reasonable price), Akasa won't likely produce a matching case now that they have been discontinued.
And I am a little puzzled about the Jetson Nano: Mine is fully passive from the factory, just like all I've ever seen. It does feature screw-holes in the heatsink and a header to mount a fan should you want to hide it where airflow is compromised. But even at the higher power setting it doesn't seem to need active cooling when out in the open...
Ok, seems this is a sponsored post, same words and pictures everywhere, but no details even on the Akasa home page: Could you kindly label it as that?
Akasa markets their NUC and SFF cases at industrial and I get it, they are rugged and passive but I think they are missing part of the market. While they are rugged and passive they are also really classy looking pieces of hardware with brushed and anodized finishes and diamond cut chamfered edges, clearly someone at Akasa cares how these things look. They make very sexy and silent HTPCs cases.
