Akasa Euler CMX: Tiny 4-liter fanless PC case arrives with support for up to Intel Core Ultra 200 CPUs

At just 4 liters, the new Akasa Euler CMX has been designed to appease Mini ITX aficionados who prefer passively cooled systems, but do not mind middling performance numbers. The PC case is already available to order across several regions in Europe, Asia, and North America with prices starting at €151 or ~$203.

Premium Mini ITX case for passive cooling enthusiasts

The Mini ITX case will support 35W Intel Core (8th to 14th gen) and Core Ultra (200S) processors. For instance, processors such as the Core Ultra 5 225T might be a great fit for the case, featuring a lower TDP (35W vs 65W) rating courtesy of tamed clock speeds. Moreover, the Euler CMX case lacks space for 3.5-inch drives, instead featuring support for M.2 drives exclusively.

The detailed I/O on offer is as follows:

• Dual USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
• Dual USB 2.0 Type-A

Of course, for more ports and video outputs, buyers will have to utilize the I/O options on their chosen motherboard. Wall mounting and VESA mounting support is present, and option for an external 150W power adapter is offered. Otherwise, an internal 220 W unit is present with 4-pin DIN connector and 12V, 5V, and 3.3V output rails.

As mentioned earlier, Intel CPUs from 8th-Gen onwards are supported, limited to the LGA115X, LGA1200, LGA1700, and the latest LGA1851 sockets. The design appears to be quite minimal and subjectively attractive, and should be well-suited for use in environments with space and noise constraints.

Normal consumers who prefer SFF setups with active cooling can check out something like the Jonsbo C6-ITX case, currently available for just $65 on Amazon.
