Functionally, all ThinCan assembly models action agnate features:
Front panel: 1/8" stereo audio, USB ports.
Back panel: Ethernet port, VGA output, PSU connector.
Aesthetically, the aboriginal ThinCan was an exercise in affected looks, with brushed aluminum end caps and a tubular aluminum appearance that featured alternating patterns of adorning serrations forth the apparent of the tube. The tube came corrective in one's best of several cellophane colors (black, aphotic blue, ablaze blue, purple, red) for an accurate "Jetsons" feel.
After an aboriginal ancestor based on a custom x86 core, acknowledging PS/2 keyboard and mouse, the belvedere was redesigned about an NSC Geode SC2200 acknowledging alone USB peripherals. An alternative on-board SmartCard clairvoyant absorbed to an internally-mounted USB anchorage fabricated the aboriginal ThinCan an burning hit on the bounded market, due to an Estonian legislation dating from 2001 that allowable the arising of a civic Electronic ID agenda to all citizens and their use to admission abounding accessible services.
Still, while the affected architecture accustomed some absorption in the IT press, the prohibitive amount of machining an extruded aluminum tube with intricate adorning serrations prevented the architect from accomplishing bartering success with this aboriginal model.
In 2003, the aggregation revised the architecture appear a simpler cost-effective collapsed boxlike appearance for their DBE60 archetypal (initially commercialized as the ThinCan SE). Aside from the accession of a alongside printer port, the DBE60 is functionally identical to the aboriginal ThinCan and congenital about the aforementioned NSC Geode SC2200.
In 2005, this architecture was adapted for the AMD Geode LX700-based DBE61 model, with USB 2.0 provided by a CS5536 accompaniment chip. The alongside printer anchorage was again removed, abiding the architecture to an all-USB configuration. Linutop SARL retained this archetypal as a starting point for their Linutop-1 product.
In 2007, the DBE61 architecture was upgraded with Gigabit Ethernet support. The architect calls this the DBE62.
In 2009, the DBE62 architecture was reconfigured to use SO DIMM anamnesis and IDE Compact Flash media. The architect calls this the DBE63.
