Features

Fast Dual Core Performance

With two separate 1.6GHz Intel Atom CPUs, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and an extremely fast Intel solid state drive, the P1 is the first fanless PC that doesn’t compromise on performance. For multi

Completely Silent (0dB)

Fans suck in dust and over time become clogged and noisy. Our case serves as a heatsink with a custom heatpipe that pulls heat from inside and disperses it through the grooves in our case so that it will always be silent.

Unrivalled Boot Time

Ubuntu 9.10 boots in just 12 seconds thanks to an extremely fast Intel Solid State Drive.

Wide DC Input (6-26V)

Aleutia’s focus has always been on using computers off the power grid. To make life easier for our marine, caravan, and solar customers, we’ve equipped the P1 with a wide 6V to 26V DC input so you don’t have to worry about having 12V exactly. Of course, it comes with an AC brick power supply as well.

Field Tested in Rural Nigeria

Most people design PCs for air conditioned offices. We design them for dust storms, 30 C temperatures, and constant (ab)use. Which is why the P1’s been fine in rural Nigeria.

Runs Linux or Windows

The P1 comes with Ubuntu 9.10 by default (released October, 2009), which includes OpenOffice 3.1 and the Firefox web browser. Though we recommend Linux, we can offer the P1 with Vista Business. And it runs Windows 7 beautifully.

If a customer requires an additional 10/100/1000 Network Port or a WLAN Adapter, we can mount this using the PCI card slot, and by removing the power switch. The BIOS is then set to Boot After Power Loss (i.e. turn on when power is plugged in), making it ideal as an always-on server with two network ports.

P1 Storage Benchmarks

Most PC Makers just list hard drive size and speed. We’d like to offer a better metric, and use the open source Bonnie++ program to benchmark our CF cards, SSDs, and HDDs.

As a rule, all hard drives fail. But you get a lot more storage for your £/$.. Decide what’s best for you – you can always install a hard drive later.

Just to let you know that the gear arrived on Monday, a superb bit of kit, and It’s now set up on Capella and working great, just the wires to tidy up and it’s done.Thanks again for all your help, I’ll be pushing Aleutia to anyone who will listen.
