In association with CompuLab, Linux Mint made Mint box. It is a small computer device. The mintBox is amongst the toughest computers on the market. It features an die-cast solid-metal case which acts as a giant passive heatsink. Although the metal makes the mintBox heavier than the other devices its size, it makes it feel really unique, robust and well engineered. More importantly, it cools down its components without needing any fans. Other than the noise coming from its internal 250GB hard-drive, the mintBox is completely silent. The most exclusive thing about this product is that it is the only size of a DVD drive.
