Compulab's MintBox 2 Revealed

Compulab has unveiled the Mintbox 2, its second generation compact desktop computer that measures just 190 x 160 x 40 mm and features a metal enclosure that doubles as a heat sink to cool the processor. 

The system will also feature two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a 500 GB hard drive and will ship with Linux Mint 15 “Olivia” (presumably 64-bit) pre-installed. Speaking on the announcement, the Linux Mint blog provided the following:

“We’ve always had a fantastic relationship with the staff at CompuLab and we’re working hard on the new MintBox, but this was a surprise and I wanted to thank them for doing this. There’s a lot of respect and admiration going both ways and we’re very proud of what we’re doing together.”

 The Compulab Mintbox 2 will be priced at $599 and backed with a 5 year manufacturer warranty with a currently unknown release date.
