Fit-PC - Hand-Sized Low Power Computer

Hello FreeGreen Readers,

We are starting a new program which allows guest authors to contribute articles on green homes, home products, or green concepts to our blog.  Below if our first article of this nature by Daniel Harrison at www.enviorgadget.com

The fit-PC Slim is a small fanless computer measuring just 100mm x 110mm x 30mm. The fit-PC packs a powerful 500MHz processor, 512MB DDR 333MHz memory, and a 60GB laptop hard drive! The computer is perfect for lightweight applications (where the server does the hard work) and for casual computer use (such as web browsing, email and word processing).

The fit-pc has been designed with the environment in mind. The circuit board is lead-free and the case is made from recyclable aluminium. The best bit is the power consumption of this tiny computer, which is between 4 and 6 Watts! Which is less than most energy saving lightbulbs! With such a small power consumption, the fit-pc is ideal for situations where you want a computer switched on 24 hours a day.  This might include home monitoring and home automation projects.

The only aspects of the fit-pc that makes it functionally different from other PCs is that it has a slightly slower processer. However, the benefits are that it is much smaller and much more energy efficient. It still has wireless networking , USB 2.0 ports, a 100Mbps ethernet port, as well as support for sound with a headphone socket and microphone socket.  

So if you’re a light computer user, or you’ve always wanted to run a tiny home server, then the fit-pc is perfect! It’s pretty cheap too, costing around £200 in the UK, and cheaper again at around $200 in the US.

This guest article was written by Daniel Harrison, who has a passion for green gadgets and low power computers
