We are delighted to offer, not one but two ways of housing a Intel NUC. Exquisitely crafted, these Akasa solutions have been designed with the sole purpose of cooling an Intel NUC without the aid of any fans. They do this by an ingenious design that directly contacts the CPU and GPU in the NUC allowing the whole chassis to act as one large heatsink, and it does this in an extremely small footprint.

Newton S7D v Plato X7D

It is very important to know that apart from the physical difference in size there is also a difference in performance between the Newton and the Plato. Akasa state that the Plato can adequately cool up to the 8th gen i7-8650U CPU, whereas the Newton can only accommodate up to the 7th gen i5-7300 CPU. This means if you want to have a totally silent 8th gen i7 NUC, then the Plato must be selected in the configurator below.

As for the physical difference in size, the Newton is a more conventional shaped chassis that measures 176.5 x 200 x 53.5mm (W x D x H) and the Plato measures 247 x 240 x 38.5mm. This means the Plato is 15mm slimmer than the Newton but 70.5mm wider, giving the Plato a more slimmer look in comparison.

Top Performance and Reliability

Even though the UltraNUCs are small in size, they are just as versatile as a full-sized computer whilst being convenient enough to be portable. Each NUC features two HDMI 2.0 outputs that provide full 4K @ 60Hz video playback as well as 7.1 digital audio output, (a capable AV Receiver is required).

You can easily travel with the UltraNUCs and simply connect it via HDMI to an LCD TV at the place to where you are travelling such as a remote office, a hotel room or a friend’s house. A whole host of capabilities are possible when connected to the internet via broadband. The NUC is the epitome of versatility and portability. Alternatively, you can enjoy an uncluttered desk with the UltraNUCs mounted somewhere out of the way.

We offer the UltraNUC Pro Fanless with a choice of three different CPUs: an aggressively-priced Core i3 machine, more powerful i5 and finally the i7. Essentially, the only difference between them is performance. If you need moderate performance then choose the dual-core Core i3 (2.4 GHz). If you need even more performance then choose the dual-core Core i5 (2.6 GHz with Turbo Boost to 3.5 GHz) or for the best performance possible from such a small PC then opt for the quad-core Core i7 (1.9 GHz with Turbo Boost to 4.2 GHz) along with the Plato chassis.

Storage considerations

When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolutely silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.

So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course, you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers choose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs. A conventional HDD would store other data but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC, you might want to forgo the HDDs altogether as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.

Clean Build™ Promise

The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of “junkware” which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.

Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Microsoft Security Essentials / Windows Defender - that’s it. You won’t be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many months and years to come.

Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty

We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.

Our hardware warranty runs for two years and is “collect and return” meaning that you don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it, we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
