There are more and more options for those that need some extra processing power from their Mini PC's - and the "HYSTOU" brand (don't ask me how to pronounce it) has a very good variety of fanless models, both barebones and ready-to-use models.

We'll start with the full-featured FMP04B model, wich comes in 3 flavors (i3/i5/i7 CPU's).

This one might not be intended for home use - after all, it has no less than 6 RS232 COM ports, and I can't imagine that you use so many of them (or at all, for that matter) - but it's still an interesting Mini PC.

This fanless mini PC comes with a rugged casing and it has dual HDMI, dual Gigabit LAN, 8GB of RAM and a built-in 128 GB SSD to make things as smooth as possible.
