New fanless panel PC with quad core Intel Core i7 Processor

Datasound Laboratories (DSL) has unveiled a new series of passively cooled Intel Core i7 processor based fanless Panel PC's. The front IP65 protected APC-3x19 Panel PCs, specified for 0-50C operation contain no moving parts - meaning reliability and longevity, the key stones of industrial and embedded computing, are satisfied with ease. For ultimate reliability the APC-3x19 Panel PCs also natively support RAID, says the company. "Reliably passively cooling any high performance processor is a skill, achieving this with a quad core Intel Core i7 whilst maintaining support of operational temperature ranges found in industrial environments is an art," said Rory Dear, technical sales manager, Datasound Laboratories. "For too long have those needing the latest in desktop computing performance been forced to employ just that, a desktop PC inherently unsuitable for its installation environment, as no other option existed." Widely self-configurable, clients can specify their own DDR, SSD and pre-installed OS preferences, even expand the I/O themselves utilising the in-built PCI or PCIe x16 expansion slot. With display sizes of 15-24-inch 1080P, the ability to customize the APC-3x19 Panel PC to do exactly what OEMs, system integrators and industrial end customers want is the icing on the cake. Customers achieve their own unique I/O functionality and exact connector locations via multiple I/O easy install peripheral modules or DSL design services. Aesthetical customizations with company branded bezel colour and company logo are further design options as well as the bezel material. Options include popularly anti-corrosion and hygienic stainless steel for food, medical and chemical processing applications, says the company.
