Logic Supply unveiled a tiny, Intel NUC based “CL100” mini-PC that runs Ubuntu on a quad-core “Braswell” Celeron N3150, and has no vents or moving parts.

Like Logic Supply’s rugged ML100 mini-PC, the CL100 is based on a fanless, Intel NUC design that runs Ubuntu Linux or Windows on a quad-core Intel Celeron processor. Yet, the CL100 is considerably smaller at 117 x 112 x 36.7mm. The computer also advances from a “Bay Trail” Intel Celeron to a 14nm-fabricated. 1.6GHz “Braswell” Celeron N3150 with Intel Gen8 graphics.

The CL100 uses Logic Supply’s Hardshell Fanless Technology featuring a rugged, cast aluminum steel chassis, heatsink-based solid state cooling, and a sealed, ventless case for ingress protection. It’s aimed primarily at commercial temperature industrial applications, but with its triple independent display support, it can also be used for applications like home theater and signage. The system is debuting Mar. 16-17 at the Digital Signage Expo in Las Vegas.

The base CL100 system includes 2GB of RAM, expandable to 16GB, and a 32GB mSATA SSD expandable to 512GB. A GbE port is available along with a mini-PCIe slot for wireless expansion, backed up by dual antenna holes. For displays, you get dual HDMI ports and a DisplayPort.
