I just built an intel ITX inside an shuttle (ePoX) barebone case.
Works nice, built in also a MOREX 60W Fanless psu! I just put another heatsink (alu) ontop of the stock intel heatsink...
The setup is entirely Fanless, using an D201GLY2 Intel ITX desktop board..
Works nice, however temperatures are way above normal:
63 C @ idle
75 C @ load, normal working temperature

Re: D201gly2 FANLESS Mini Alu PC
That "heatsink on top of a heatsink" is very bad... there is no where for the thermo-buoyant flow to go. It does you much more harm than good. Try taking that off and seeing what your temps are. Odds are they will still be pretty high because you have a totally passive system, but I would expect them to be somewhat lower.Xindi wrote: Works nice, however temperatures are way above normal:
Other than that, I like that the D201 fit in there so nice. Neat!

I understand the ultimate desire for fanless operation, but you'd need to have somewhere for the heat to go. I'd suggest getting a single 80mm nexus fan running at 5V for the exhaust, and then build a partial duct that leads over the CPU. The difference between no airflow and some airflow would likely drop the temperatures significantly.
