Akasa Intros Turing WS Fanless Case for Wall Street Canyon NUC 12 Pro

[btarunr]

Akasa today introduced the Turing WS, a variant of its large Turing fanless case for the Intel NUC 12 Pro "Wall Street Canyon," system boards, which use Intel 12th Gen Core "Alder Lake-P" mobile processors. The Turing WS is physically identical to the company's Turing family of cases, measuring 247.9 mm x 113.5 mm x 95 mm (WxDxH), but with its I/O designed to correspond with NUC 12 Pro boards, and its heatsink SoC base with that of the "Alder Lake-P" SoC. The case also includes an M.2-2280 cooling surface, so you can extend the cooling capacity of the case to an NVMe SSD. Available for pre-order from October 3, the Akasa Turing WS is priced at USD $170.

Sadly there doesn't seem to be an option to add a Turing GPU inside this case...

I would add a small fan and a cup holder.... or at least warming up some cheese sandwiches.

These things are always such a pain to install new hardware into, I'd rather take the slightly bulkier case with fans any day,

I's like installing a water loop into a normal; case, except with limited length of each heat pipe.

Its not too bad, getting the hardware out of the NUC is usually worse. The build quality on all the passive Akasa cases I've worked on has been pretty insane, really nice anodizing, diamond cut edges, super tight panel fit, ect. They make really great HTPC cases when you want your hardware to been seen and not heard, but if your just gona hide it away then yeah, not much of a point I suppose.
