The DPX-S1435 is a complete gaming system combining the unrivaled performance of Advantech-Innocore’s DPX-S435 motherboard with the convenience of the new DPX-S1000 enclosure.

Adding a new dimension to the DPX-S series range, the new S1000 enclosure is a gaming system logic box designed to accommodate any of Advantech’s DPX-S series motherboards in style and with excellent access to the interior behind a casino grade key-locked lid.

The DPX-S1435 system has a card slot bay for a PCI-Express graphics card that is wide enough for today’s high powered double- width graphics cards giving the customer the ability to upgrade from the integrated graphics or add more monitors (up to 7 or more). For mass storage, the system includes a quick release carrier with shock mounting for solid state disk or hard drive.
