Compact barebone for business desktops
The ASUS ExpertCenter PB64 is a 1.35L mini PC barebone built around the Intel Core Ultra 5 225 processor with integrated Intel Graphics. It arrives without memory or storage so IT teams can configure DDR5 SO-DIMMs and NVMe drives to match workload requirements. The platform targets office productivity, thin-client deployments and space-constrained workstations.
Upgrades from older SFF or tower PCs
The barebone replaces legacy small-form-factor desktops that lack Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 or 2.5Gbps LAN. The jump is worth it when a fleet needs four 4K display outputs, USB 4.0 Type-C with DP2.1 and a discrete TPM 2.0 module without adding expansion cards. Buyers who need internal 3.5-inch drive bays or discrete graphics slots should look elsewhere.
Tool-less chassis simplifies deployment
A toolless cover gives immediate access to two 262-pin SO-DIMM slots supporting 64GB dual-channel DDR5 and two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 sockets plus one 2.5-inch SATA bay. The only common pitfall is forgetting that no RAM or SSD ships in the box, so the first boot will halt until both are installed. VESA mount hardware is included for behind-monitor mounting.

Questions about this item
What physical space and mount does the 1.35L chassis need?
The 1.35L case includes a VESA mount for attaching to the back of a monitor or a wall bracket; no extra rails or screws are required.
How do I install RAM and SSDs in the toolless chassis, and what step is often missed?
Slide the cover off, insert two 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMMs and up to two M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe drives, then enable dual-channel mode in BIOS — the step many skip.
Which parts will need replacement first in this barebone unit?
The CMOS battery on the motherboard and any 2.5-inch SATA hard drive you add are the only mechanical items that wear out; the CPU, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 modules are soldered.
