6th VIA AMOS system announced



When you create a new platform for embedded systems, part of the challenge is getting someone to manufacture cases or chassis that fit. VIA solved this a long time ago by designing and manufacturing chassis designed specifically for EPIA boards. This has included the VIA AMOS-1000 for Mini-ITX, the VIA AMOS-2000 for Nano-ITX and the VIA AMOS-3000 for Pico-ITX. With a couple of variations along the way, the VIA AMOS-5001 just announced by VIA is the sixth in the AMOS series (if I've counted correctly!).



This one is designed for use with the VIA Em-ITX form factor boards, specifically the EITX-3001 series. The complete system in the chassis is small and light enough to be mounted at the back of a screen. The design includes heatsinks on either side of the chassis, providing a cool but fanless design that's useful for various embedded computing uses.
