A retail display terminal in a bustling mall needs reliability without noise. A surveillance kiosk in a remote location must operate silently and without failure. These are the environments where traditional PC cases struggle—but Akasa’s latest Euler CMX is built to thrive there.
Announced as a compact, fanless solution for Mini-ITX motherboards, the Euler CMX is engineered for industrial automation, digital signage, and point-of-sale (POS) systems, where space constraints and 24/7 uptime are critical. Unlike conventional cases, it eliminates moving parts entirely, replacing them with a patented spring-loaded CPU cooler mount and an aluminum thermal module that dissipates heat through the chassis fins.
Key specs

The Euler CMX’s fanless architecture isn’t just about silence—it’s about reducing mechanical failure points in environments where maintenance is difficult. The 220W DC-to-DC converter ensures stable power delivery for demanding workloads, while the spring-loaded cooler system guarantees compatibility across multiple Intel socket types without sacrificing thermal performance.
For businesses deploying edge computing nodes, surveillance systems, or compact workstations, the Euler CMX offers a plug-and-play solution that sidesteps the limitations of traditional cases. Its wall-mount and VESA compatibility further expands deployment options, making it a versatile choice for scenarios where a standard tower would be impractical.
Availability begins immediately, with the case shipping to Europe, North America, Asia, and the UK. The optional 150W external power adapter (for lighter builds) can be ordered separately.
