Quiet Power
The new transtec Low-Noise PC with BTX technology
Tübingen, 9 November 2005.
transtec has long been attentive to the need for PCs with low noise. Its latest entry in the quiet PC market, the new transtec Low-Noise PC, combines impressive performance with extremely low noise levels, due in part to the implementation of the groundbreaking BTX form-factor specification. The BTX chassis design’s in-line airflow provides better component cooling through airflow optimisation and also lowers noise resulting from air turbulence. Its more rational component placement also results in smaller systems. With the Low-Noise PC transtec joins the few system providers in the world that have opted to the use BTX design in their office PCs – another confirmation of transtec’s commitment to technological innovation.
