What Is a Small Form Factor PC Cabinet?
A small form factor PC cabinet is a compact enclosure that houses a computer in a footprint much smaller than a standard tower. Small form factor systems fit behind a monitor, mount to a wall or DIN rail, or sit in tight equipment racks. Thinvent builds its range as mini PCs, which place the processor, memory, storage and ports inside a small chassis designed for limited space.
