14 DAY TRIAL // Another week, another Next Unit of Computing case. Still, at least this time, there's something less than ordinary to gush over.
Intel's NUC mini PC was made for people who wanted a tiny computer than could be held in one hand and passed from monitor to TV easily.
The regular case didn't really earn many medals though, so various OEMs have been making alternatives.
Akasa has just launched such a thing, the Tesla H, featuring two 2.5-inch drive bays instead of one. The SATA 6 Gbps port on the mini-ITX motherboard handles one bay, and a bundled mSATA to SATA adapter is used for the other.
The unpriced all-aluminum case measures 240 x 150 x 48 mm / 9.44 x 5.90 x 1.88 inches and also doubles as a heatsink. It even has ridges on the sides and top.
Other features include three holes for WLAN/Bluetooth antennae, a Kensington lock port, front-panel USB 3.0 and HD audio ports, and a USB infrared receiver.
