I installed my Akasa Newton H yesterday.
Some observations:
- the case is substantially bigger than the original NUC case, no longer as cute anymore Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
- blue LED is WAY too bright, I will have to cut some semi transparent film to dim that out
- instructions could be slight better
- I didn't do any burn-in so my only test was by going on the BIOS showing the cooling screen and it seemed to be cooler than my other NUC still in its original case (exactly same specs for both)
- When on the BIOS the Akasa Newton H became unresponsive, it could be because: I unplugged a USB bluetooth receiver (for my keyboard/mouse) therefore it's irrelevant, or it overheated yet the temps weren't that high, I will have to do further tests
- There SHOULD be space to put the Pulse Eight HDMI-CEC internal adapter, I tried doing so but I go confused about what cable needs to go where, I will pursue this on the Pulse Eight forums.
