ASUS NOVA LITE Mini 2L PC Delivers Computing Performance in a Small Box

    Stylish design, Integrated Speakers and Energy-saving Technology for Ultra Quiet Computing

    Taipei, Taiwan, March 13, 2008 – Perfectly-sized and styled to fit into the home or office's chic décor, the NOVA LITE 2L PC is well-equipped for daily computing needs and also provides innovative features when it comes to audio and energy-saving. Catering to the design and budget conscious, this mini PC gives out more than its size reveals – a remarkable compact box with just about everything you need in it.

    Energy-efficient Computing and Quiet Operation
    On deck, this ultra SFF packs a HDD and an ODD. It has, not just one but, two built-in HiFi speakers - strategically located at the front for optimal sound distribution. It's no wonder this mini PC can offer such sound quality without compromising on space. It also utilizes a power-saving technology to run the CPU at 18W while in operation and only 5W on idle, greatly reducing heat generation as well as your utility bill. That means the fan works much less, leading to an amazingly quiet and tranquil user experience of just 24 dB. This is possible with ASUS' exclusive and intelligent sub-sonic heat diffusing technology which adopts solid capacitors and a unique thermal solution that integrates a heat dissipation module and one AI fan. At such a low operating decibel level, the only thing that can pick up its computing noise is the family dog – even then, we're not so sure!

    Sleek and Sufficient
    Compared to its larger 'cousins' with a housing of 20 to 30L, the NOVA LITE still manages to hold its weight in features and specifications, making it a self-sufficient unit for the regular PC user who might be strictly on a budget.
