PC Idea Description

This is a silent monster designed to provide performance without stealing desktop space. It's composed of a ATX or Micro-ATX aluminium chassi with double, industy standard, VESA mounts so it can be fitted behind your 20" (or larger) monitor on your standard wall mount or on a monitor with a regular stand.

The chassi is 1U-1,5U thick so components can be shared with 1U servers, but most standard components should fit as well. Standard is 1 external power supply but 2 is supported for redundancy. Silent, server-class 1U PSU:s would also be ok.

All standard PCI and PCI-Express cards should be supported using PCI raisers. This high-performing chassi has build in heatpipe CPU and GPU cooling, and the entire chassi is cooled by two high-quality, slient, slow-spinning huge fans (with easy-to-clean filters).

On top, 4 x 3,5" disks can be inserted in prepared and vibration-dampened slots.

Easy access to optical drive, usb, memory card readers, firewire, audio, ps/2 and other external connections that you frequently need is important. Therefore, all these are placed on an nice-looking external unit which can be placed on your desk, wall-mounted or whereever you want it. You should never have to touch the chassis during normal use.

The chassis should have plenty optional cable guides, and look nice and stylish behind your monitor. No annoying blue diods, please.
