With an aluminum frame of just 20 cm (W) x4.4 cm (H) x22 (D) cm the M-100 is ideal for places where space, power consumption and low noise levels are required. Weighing just under 1Kg, the M-100 has made a real breakthrough in the mini-servers, PC automation as well as thin clients applications by combining the latest advancements in low power and small form factor computing.
“By using VIA’s award winning Mini-ITX form factor, combined with our micro power supply as well as a 20×20 LCD, keypad and a general purpose I/O port, the M-100 will allow you to concentrate on your application rather that how your hardware needs to be designed. In situations where visual feedback needs to be provided without a monitor, the M-100 can display vital status messages on the built-in LCD and take commands via the 14 key keypad.” said Andrei Bulucea, the M-100 project manager.
For the portable PC/small Mini-ITX applications, there are good news. The mini-box M-100 is the smallest mini-ITX enclosure to date. Also, by using the PW-60 high efficiency 12V DC-DC converter (also available at mini-box.com), the M-100 can run for about 12 hours from a single 12V/7ah battery.
The M-100 boots from a Compact Flash and is running an embedded Linux version that fits in less that 16Mb or it can boot from a 2.5″ hard disk and run Windows98/NT/2000/XP.
