Low cost have been realized by using ordinary desktop hardware for the
installed parts such as the motherboard and the graphic card. Also, it
can be extended by having the end-user himself to freely select the parts.
Even in a case of failure, parts can easily be replaced, and maintenance
costs can be greatly reduced.
The design of the case
and the power supply unit is all done in FORUM8, and the production is
also all done in Japan. The power supply unit supports output of 400W.
By making it cable detachable, connecting redundant cables becomes
unnecessary. The length of the cable can also be customized, so the
cooling performance inside the case can be improved.
The cooler fan is cooling the CPU/GPU using the fan less cooler fan and
the 60mm custom cooler fan made by Scythe. A fan controller using micro-controller
and temperature sensor is installed to the power supply and inside the
case from Ver.3, realizing both cooling performance during high load and
quietness during no load state. Also, an application for temperature monitoring
that can be USB transmitted has been developed in FORUM8, realizing thermal
and sound pressure management on the desktop.
It
has an extensibility in regard to the front panel, and the Front USB
installed this time goes without saying, due to the design development
of the holder, installation of DVD/BD Drive and server monitoring
liquid crystal display can also be installed.
