Another fanless Celeron 1037U:

This looks to be the same computer as sold by Qotom as the I-37C (but Qotom doesn't specifically mention it being fanless):

P.S. I wouldn't be surprised if that motherboard (from the first link) is exactly the same as the one found in the Qotom-T30.
Comparing I/O and expansion on this Habey BIS-6762 vs. Qotom-T30, they appear to be almost identical.
Both (Habey BIS-6762 and Qotom-T30) have:
Internally--
1. One SODIMM slot
2. One SATA 3Gbps port (for internal 2.5" drive)
3. Two Mini PCI-E slots (one for msata, one for wifi)
External (front):
1. Two usb 2.0 ports
2. One audio in
3. One audio out
External rear:
1. DC-in
2. HDMI
3. VGA
4. Four usb 2.0 (Habey substitues two usb 3.0 ports for two usb 2.0 ports)
5. RJ45
6. audio in
7 audo out
Habey BIS-6762 comes with a serial port standard (On Qotom-T30 this is optional)
So other than those two differences (which I bolded) they appear, at this time, to be exactly the same from an I/O and expansion standpoint.
Aha!
Excellent detective work! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
On both the Qotom-T30 and the Qotom I-37C, you can see where the optional serial port would go. They both have the holes already cut in the side of the case, but they are covered up with that blue Intel sticker if the serial port option was not included.
The USB 3 on the Habey, and the similarity in the connector layout, is indeed interesting. It does look like a different motherboard, since the Qotom and the Habey have the processor on opposite sides of the motherboard relative to the connectors (Habey on top, Qotom on the bottom)... but maybe they are from the same company?
Qotom motherboard:
I can't quite figure out what form factor that is... it almost looks like the EPIC, or the 3.5" SBC size... but I think it looks too long on the short dimension? So it is probably something custom / non-standard...
I think this discovery of the I-37C pictures is also fantastic, as it shows how the fanless setup would work in the T30, thus giving some credibility to the "fanless" claim in the spec sheet. :thumbsup:
In the I-37C, the motherboard has the heat producing chips on the bottom, and is then installed upside-down into the chassis (which is the top and sides). The bottom cover is just a flat plate, with nothing attached to it other than a 2.5" drive.
Despite its small size, the I-37C looks to have a lot of empty space inside. It should even be large enough for a full thin-mini-ITX motherboard.
I-37C: 197mm x 197mm x 29mm
T30: 205mm x 140mm x 40mm
In the T30, the motherboard is installed in a different orientation, with the heat producing chips attached to the
bottom of the chassis. So I suspect that the T30 would cool a lot better if you put some taller feet on it to give it more airflow underneath, or better yet - put some feet on the top and turned the whole thing upside down. The vertical orientation they show in the pictures (with the stand) may be the best way to run it, as the convection would draw air across it.
