The fit-PC is a fanless miniature embedded computer. It is manufactured by the Israeli company CompuLab and was introduced in July of 2007. The device is power- efficient (about 5 W) and therefore considered to be a green computing project, capable of using open source software and creating minimal electronic waste.[1][2]

[edit] Hardware

fit-PC is based on SBC-iGLX board (CM-iGLX system on module). Heat removal is done by conduction to an all-Aluminum case with no air vents. A hard disk inside the case is used for storage.

[edit] Software

The system comes pre-loaded with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) and Gentoo Linux in dual boot, but the manufacturer states that it runs both Linux and Windows XP operating systems.
