Made a few Akasa Fanless Intel NUC PC's over last few years using mostly the Akasa Newton cases but if run maxed out with a dual core i5/i7 these can get a little too hot with extended load.
I upgraded to the latest 8th gen quad core i5 NUC for 4K transcode/multi-transcode using Plex server.
I believe (and read) the existing normal Plato/Newton cases may struggle with high demand of the quad core i5/i7's in the traditional Akasa cases and that a larger, higher cooling capable Turing cases was being designed.
So soon as I could source one as a special from Scan (still not on any site to order as of early this week) I ordered and arrived today (£115).
Few photos below but will add the build info & results as I go along. Visually it looks fantastic and still small.
