What Is a Small PC Tower?
A small PC tower is a compact desktop computer in a small chassis. It gives the full function of a desktop system in a footprint much smaller than a standard ATX tower. Small tower PCs suit offices, kiosks, reception desks, digital signage and workstations where space is limited.
The Thinvent Aero Mini PC is a small-form-factor desktop of this type. It uses an Intel Celeron N5095A processor with 4 cores, a maximum frequency of 2.9 GHz and 4 MB of cache. It includes 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and a 128 GB SSD for storage. A 12V 5A power adapter powers the unit.
