The case is fully passively cooled via aluminum fins, features dual USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports up front, a built‑in 220 W DC‑to‑DC power converter, and VESA mounts. While marketed for reliable industrial & POS deployments, it also appeals to enthusiasts seeking a completely silent home media PC.

Key Changes

• Support for regular‑sized Mini‑ITX motherboards – previous Euler models were limited to thin Mini‑ITX boards.
• Compact dimensions: 248.6 × 205 × 78.5 mm (9.8 × 8.1 × 3.1 in), allowing placement in tight spaces.
• Requires an external AC‑to‑DC power brick.

Compatibility

• Officially supports Intel sockets: LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA115X.
• Does not support AMD CPUs (see the list of best gaming CPUs).
• Intel Core Ultra 9 285T is listed as a CPU the fanless case can reliably cool.
• Less powerful Intel Core Ultra 5 T‑series chips are also compatible, offering zero‑noise operation for productivity or HTPC builds.

Pricing

• The fanless case retails for ≈ $175 (pre‑VAT) on Quiet PC.
• A complete build (Intel Core Ultra 5 245T, 16 GB DDR5, 500 GB SSD) is available for $1,489 (pre‑VAT) on Quiet PC’s system page.
