The Silent Server supports the mini-ITX form factor specified by VIA. Mini-ITX is an ultra small compact design that fits all the features of a motherboard onto a small 17cm x 17 cm PCB. The Silent Server can be configured to use similar boards as the Panda PC in a fanless operation or if required, we can use a fan and integrate different motherboards. The Silent Server is designed to work with any 17cm x 17 cm motherboard so it can be configured for a variety of applications and configurations. The image below shows our special heat sink fitted on the motherboard, enabling it to operate without a fan.
