Compact fanless computing platforms designed for office, home, industrial-adjacent and distributed computing applications.
Compact Computing Without Active Cooling
NIACO NC Series Mini PCs are compact fanless computing platforms built around an all-aluminum enclosure.
The NC Series is designed for applications where compact dimensions, silent operation, reliable computing and flexible installation are important considerations.
The fanless architecture eliminates the need for an active cooling fan, while the all-aluminum body provides a compact platform for everyday and professional computing applications.
The NC Series includes Intel Core processors from 10th through 14th generation, providing a range of computing options for different application requirements.
Designed for Flexible Installation
The NC Series can be installed directly behind a monitor using its VESA mounting capability.
This makes the platform suitable for applications where desk space, compact installation and clean system integration are important.
Typical installation environments include:
- Office computing
- Home and personal computing
- Professional workstations
- Digital signage and information terminals
- Distributed computing environments
- Operator and workstation applications
- Compact industrial-adjacent applications
- Space-constrained installations
