KINGDEL Fanless Industrial PC, Mini Computer with i7 CPU, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 2xNICs, 2xHD Ports, 4xUSB 3.0, 6xCOM RS232, Full Metal Case, WiFi, Silent Working

We've had one of these computers in our Receiving department, the room that encounters the most dirt build-up in the warehouse. Previous computers with fans would pull in dust coating all surfaces causing heat build up, fan failure, and eventual heat death. While it isn't the speediest computer, it gets the job done for basic warehouse apps and has been trouble-free. Plenty of USB ports, and it bolts nicely to the corrugated steel wall, out of the way and secure. This is our second purchase based on our success with the first. Having an old-school serial port was helpful for connecting Zebra label printers we still have around. Computer came with no bloat-ware of any kind, and Windows already activated. It did have an admin account set up with no password for the initial log in which we removed. You may feel more comfortable re-installing Windows, but we've had no issues with the pre-installed version. Compared to other industrial-grade fanless offerings, this is an exceptional value.

I've been running this machine at 100% load 24x7 for a a couple of months by now and have only positive things to say. Actually I don't have much to say - it just work and doesn't cause any trouble. It seems very well built, does not overheat under the full load thanks to its substantial heat sink case and is completely quiet. I'll note that I installed Ubuntu 18.04 on that machine due to the headless nature of my application, at no issues from OS compatibility either. Last thought, I found it interesting that the manufacturer makes these mini-PCs with several generation old laptop CPUs. I assume they are getting them from recycled laptops, which is even better, from sustainability/recycling/reuse perspective.

These Kingdel units are a great value and have served my needs perfectly. I've purchased at least 8 of them over the last few years for my office workstations as well as home use. There's several different configurations of RAM, SSD size and USB/HDMI configurations so we've been able to get slightly different models but all look pretty much the same. Some locations I have mounted them under the desk, some on the wall and others directly to the back of the monitor stands for a really clean look.

Great mini computer.

Still setting this up and testing. My configuration performs well against regular desktops for half the cost. I cannot use bitlocker as there is no TPM chip (Not a major issue, but good to know ahead of time. One can use hardware encrypted SSD instead) The unit runs warm, but not hot. Came with activated windows 10 PRO 64 bit. The key was also emailed to me. No documentation or separate/printed license key so I suggest the first thing to do is to make a full windows 10 system backup to a labelled USB, including the license key, and put it in a safe place. After configuring the PC to your satisfaction, make another complete backup onto a different labelled USB key. This is probably good process for any PC. I note that the motherboard has configured heat protection - a very important feature for a fanless PC! For my purposes the multitude of com ports are redundant, but I can use the dual 1 GB ports, several USB ports and dual HDMI ports could be useful in other applications. Subject to ongoing reliability (I suspect that good ventilation needs to be provided) this is a good buy.

I bought this computer to be a (Linux) server, both a file server and a web server. Right out of the box, I was impressed with the materials used for the case. It is in a solid, all metal box. The connectors are high quality as well. I have had the computer in service for about a month now, and it is operating very well. It handles the load with ease. This low-power, fanless computer packs a good punch!

This computer is a useful piece of equipment, but mine failed after four months of use....no video output. I had to ship it to China at a cost of $81.00 to hopefully get repair or replacement. After nearly two months I am still waiting to get a functional computer back. It was returned to the manufacturer for repair, but failed testing. The supplier refuses to send out a new or functional machine.

Great quality, fast shipping.
