Aleutia is a British company based in London which began operation by providing low cost PCs to internet cafes in Africa. Since those humble beginnings they have branched out to many countries across the globe.

Their systems are underpowered by modern standards but Aleutia believes that horsepower found in typical desktop PCs outstrips the needs the majority of users. Rather than pumping their computers with more GB's and GHz's than the average lay person would ever require, they instead focus on giving their desktops solid industrial designs with an emphasis on low power consumption and low noise — in fact many of their machines are completely fanless like the H3-R, which they tout as a "Fanless Rugged Media PC."


The H3-R ships in a plain brown box, bulging from the padding protecting the system inside.
Unboxed.

If the case looks familiar, you may recall it housed Logic Supply's SolidLogic Montevina which we reviewed almost a year ago. Logic Supply calls the enclosure the Serener GS-L10 and it's available for purchase on their website. It features heatpipes that pull heat away from the processor, piping it to a set of external aluminum heatsinks lining the sides and top of the enclosure. The Montevina had a socket P motherboard, a mobile Celeron processor, and GMA 4500MHD graphics (three generations old), so it wasn't exactly a powerhouse. It was fairly energy efficient though, with a maximum power draw of less than 50W measured from the wall. The H3-R has similar power requirements but is equipped with more up-to-date hardware.

Package contents: system, power brick, WiFi adapter, DVI to VGA adapter.


The H3-R is offered with a low power desktop dual core Sandy Bridge CPU, either a 2.5 GHz Core i3-2100T or a 2.7 GHz Core i5-2390T. Both chips have integrated HD 2000 graphics, Quick Sync video encoding technology, and Hyper-threading, but the i5 also has TurboBoost (boosting the clock speed up to 3.5 GHz in single-threaded operation) and enhanced virtualization and security features. Our sample shipped with a i5-2390T, an Intel H67 mini-ITX motherboard, Intel 510 120GB SSD, 8GB of RAM, and a 60W AC/DC power brick. A DVI to VGA dongle and a USB wireless network adapter was also included (no WiFi onboard) though we're not sure if either accessory ships with the product in retail.

Of course the cost of a fanless system comes at a significant premium. The base model with a i3-2100T, 4GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and no operating system costs £699, while our sample configuration comes in £1223. Note that there's a £35 delivery fee for shipping to North America and there's no option to buy it in US/CAD currency.
