Akasa Plato X7D Slim Fanless 7th Gen NUC Chassis

Akasa’s Plato X7D makes it possible to cool up to an i7 NUC passively for totally silent computing!

The Akasa Plato X7D Fanless NUC chassis

Akasa’s aluminium Plato X7D chassis has been designed specifically for up to Intel’s new 7th generation i7 NUCs. Just like other fanless NUC chassis from previous generation the Plato’s chassis passively cools the CPU without the need of any fans, making it now possible to cool the 7th gen NUC in pure silence.

As well as offering silent cooling for whichever CPU chosen, the Plato is able to accommodate a single 2.5” hard drive or SSD. Of course opting for a HDD rather than a SSD will mean there is some operational noise from the hard drive. We therefore recommend opting for a SSD to maintain the silent attributes this chassis offers. Please note that the maximum height of the installed hard drive can not exceed 9.5mm.

The chassis features two USB3.0 ports and a small IR window at the front of the case. At the rear, slots are available to utilise the full range of ports the 7th Gen NUC offers along with a Kensinton lock.
