Nobu intros N8 touchscreen in-wall PC

Nobu just released a new inwall touchscreen computer that will be shipping by mid-December. The unit features a 1.0GHz fanless Intel processor, a revolutionary 4GB solid state disk drive and will retail for $3,625.

Here is an excerp from Nobu:

The new 8" panel is a fully functional inwall touchscreen PC with all necessary input/output ports to control any subsystem or automation hardware in your home or office. Our goal with the new design is to satisfy a large demand for a smaller inwall touchpanel as well as to create the most robust, powerful, and visually appealing touchscreen on the planet. We designed the N8 without a fan to eliminate noise and also to eliminate possible points of failure. In addition we will offer the high performance industrial Compact Flash and FiD hard drive as an alternative to a standard 5400RMP hard drive. The N8 is available in a few different configurations. It will be available with both a 600MHz fanless Intel Celeron M or 1.1GHz fanless LV Intel Pentium M processor. The N8 will be available with Windows XP Professional or without an operating system for special applications.

Specs:
- LV Intel Celeron M 1.0GHz Fanless Processor
- Intel 852GM + ICH4 Chipset
- 256 - 1GB DDR Memory
