All In One PCs

The business model for AIO that works for system integrators is when they can buy
inter-changeable components and design their own custom system configurations, just
like the white box desktop business model.
For this business model to work the following building blocks will be sourced
separately:
AIO Enclosure or Chassis Kit (includes flat panel display, AIO metal and plastics of the
chassis, power adapter and thermal solution if custom)
Motherboard will ship with low profile IO shield, cables to power the HDD and ODD
Other standard components: CPU, Memory, HDD, ODD
All In One PCs which tightly integrate a flat panel display with PC components have
traditionally been based on custom motherboard and chassis designs. Leveraging the
common interfaces in this design guide enables a building block approach to AIO
systems. Common design features on Thin Mini-ITX based AIO PCs can include the
following:
