The slim, 1.2-inch-high SI-24S can be wall-mounted or used as a desktop, says Ibase. Touted for its high reliability, the system incorporates a segregated-flow thermal design that is claimed to prevent the accumulation of contaminants. Meanwhile, a 1.5mm aluminum chassis and dual redundant Maglev (magnetic levitation bearing) fans make extended operation reliable, the company says.

AMD's 1.5GHz Sempron 210U is supported on the SI-24S by up to 2GB of DDR2 memory, and the ATI E2400 graphics processing unit (GPU) supplies its own 128MB of GDDR3 discrete video. The device is equipped with a 2.5-inch bay for a hard disk drive (HDD), or an optional solid-state drive (SSD), and ships with gigabit Ethernet, optional WiFi or TV tuner, four USB 2.0 ports, and dual DVI-I outputs. The latter are also said to support HDMI and VGA displays, apparently via external adapter cables.
