The H3 VESA PC is a small compact computer that provides you with the performance you need while using a minimum of power. The PC contains all the powerful components you would expect while only using around 30 watts.

The H3 VESA PC has been created by Aleutia. It takes advantage of the Intel Duel Core i3 processor, which has integrated the GPU and memory controller onto the actual processor chip itself. This reduces the amount of components drawing power from the motherboard, allowing the system to provide quality results while using less electricity, it only uses 23 watts when idle and at full performance only draws 55 watts. The integrated GPU can provide playback of 1080p content in any media player.

The H3 PC uses a 2.93GHz Dual Core i3 Processor and can have up to 8GB of Ram, due to the processor the RAM is able to be really fast DDR3 RAM with a speed of 1333MHz which can offer you a real boost to performance. With this PC you have the choice between a quiet 5400RPM laptop hard drive or a completely silent Intel Solid State Drive. Though the SSDs cost more and offer less space they do allow for much faster read and write speeds which can enable programs to open almost instantly.

The H3 PC is perfectly suited for use as a home theater PC, or even for signage. It boasts Dual Monitor support via the DVI-D and HDMI port and optical audio. The PC is also future proofed, as along side its 4 USB 2.0 ports it has 2 USB 3.0 ports. The H3 is small enough to fit in your hands and is perfect for mounting behind a monitor. It is able to provide you with a great performance per watt ratio, allowing you to not have to compromise with performance speeds at all to have a low powered computer.

The T2 is a fanless dual core PC that uses substantially less electricity than a standard PC. This small and exceptionally quiet PC contains all the powerful components we expect within a PC today, while using only 21 watts on average.

The T2 by Aleutia is able to run silently while using very little energy due to its use of a passively cooled Intel Atom processor. This prevents the PC from requiring a fan to cool the system, something which is well known for causing a lot of noise while requiring a high amount of electricity. The T2 also makes use of an integrated GPU and memory controller to further lower its power requirements. This helps to allow the PC to be able to still allow playback of 720p HD video while only requiring 21 watts on average.

A great amount of thought has gone into the choice of components within the T2. For example the hard drives on offer for use with the PC have been chosen due to their ability to produce only a slight whir. The T2 can be powered through a 12V DC input. This allows you to be able to run the PC from a car battery, great for those requiring a computer while out with a caravan or for use in a car. This ability also helps to make the computer a great choice for those who have a solar power system, as it can be run straight from a direct current battery without requiring the wasteful inverter most devices need. The T2 features two pairs of USB 2.0 ports at the front of the machine, while the back of the machine features PS/2 ports, VGA ports, a further 4 x USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit LAN, and Audio In/Out as well as the PCs 12V DC input.

The T2 has an industrial galvanized steel chassis and comes with a choice of mounting options to suit your needs. It can be VESA mounted or wall mounted depending on the type of brackets you select when purchasing. The PC can be supplied with either Windows 7 (either Pro or Home) or Ubuntu 10.10, alternatively it can be supplied without an OS installed allowing you to install whatever you wish.

The T2 is great for use as an ‘always on’ server due to the use of Wake-on-Lan (WOL), PXE network boot, and auto booting after power loss, this also means that it will turn on when power is sent to it, allowing it to be placed even in a difficult to reach area as you will not need to press a power up button. The T2 is a powerful compact PC that will run efficiently and quietly while requiring very little electricity.

The Igglu Modular PC is a concept to allow anyone to upgrade their computer systems easily. By using colour coded slots and easy to install blocks for the parts, the concept hopes to make upgrading a computer something anyone can do without needing any additional assistance.

The Igglu Modular PC is the concept of UK designer Rob Mansfield, it consists of a single tower that has color coded compartments designed to take swappable modules that are colour coded to match. These module blocks allow you to easily update the main parts of your PC, there is a colour coded slot for a hard drive, optical drives, a graphic card, PCI drives and for RAM. The aim is to allow anyone to upgrade their PC without any of the hassles normally associated with doing so, to hopefully reduce the amount of PCs that are just replaced after a few years.

Computing equipment is always advancing, every month it seems there are faster parts, higher amounts of memory, smaller sizes, increased efficiency. This leads to many computers becoming obsolete in only a couple of years. Upgrading a computer can be done, but many find the process difficult, not knowing what kind of hard drive they can use, what kind of memory, how much RAM their motherboard supports, or even how to install the parts they have purchased.

The Igglu hopes to change all that. Parts would be sold in colour coded blocks, each block easily pushed into its matching colour coded slot. There would be no need to take a computer apart or touch any of it internally (helping to prevent accidental damage) all parts sold in the blocks would work with the system, so no confusion over what you would need to buy. The concept even seems to suggest purchasing the parts through an online account, which would hopefully track what parts you currently have to ensure you are upgrading each one. The blocks that are returned would potentially be reused as a budget range, or recycled. This would help PCs be available to all, and reduce the amount of computing equipment that requires disposal.

The main tower has been designed to help it run using the least amount of electricity possible. The tower would be fan-less, the design of it offering passive cooling to the components. This allows it to operate quietly, without the noise of the fan constantly turning, and use less electricity than a standard fan cooled system.

The only concern would be the eventual need to upgrade the tower part, as in the concept that seems to house the processor and of course the motherboard. Given the concept ideals it would seem that this, like the parts, would then be either be returned to be used second hand or recycled, with an updated model sent out for your current parts to be slotted into.

Typically when you see a low power PC, you’ll see really low power usage, but then a pretty low specification in terms of raw processing power. That’s all fine and good, except when you’re trying to do something that requires a little more power. The Maingear Pulse is touted as the world’s greenest gaming PC, consuming 40% less power compared to conventional gaming systems.

The Pulse uses a NVIDIA ION-based GeForce 9300 Motherboard by Zotac, which comes with both dual and quad core options. The Pulse also uses special edition GeForce 9600 GT and 9800 GT graphics cards that consume 40% less power compared to other graphics cards. A Pulse under a full load consumes less than 145 watts whilst gaming compared to convention gaming systems!

Using an optimised chassis design, air flow is maximised to ensure the GPUs and CPUs are kept as cool as possible. Components are therefore kept cooler, and less energy is wasted trying to cool hot components.

The Pulse has capacity for up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM, 802.11b/g wireless networking, eSata support, and optional Blu-ray and TV Tuner features. Pricing starts at $898.99 with one of the eco-friendly graphics cards.
