Streacom ST F12CS HTPC aluminum housing - silver [ST-F12CS]

With its elegant design and its superb quality the Streacom F12C desktop chassis is very well taken care of in the multimedia environment, but its potential for strong hardware and even water cooling systems can also be many more applications to. The case is made of extruded and CNC-machined aluminum with 4 mm thickness, its anodized surface is imparted by the sandblasted and comfortable matte texture a simple and timeless aesthetics. According subtly occurs the front, to the merely are an unobtrusive power button and a barely visible bezel for an IR receiver.

Design and function go hand in hand when Streacom F12C - a characteristic that permeates the whole construction. Tucked away at the back of the case there are two rotating screws that the top cover can be easily lifted and subsequently removed easily to allow access to the interior is exposed. There you will find even large motherboards up to ATX format and adult ATX power supplies enough space, the latter can be mounted decoupled from the internal air circulation.

Even powerful gaming graphics cards with a length of up to 31 cm copes the F12C playing. CPU cooler can use the entire amount of the F12C, so that larger cars do not get claustrophobic. However, the atypical for Streacom ratios large housing can thanks to a clever attachment method, especially in the equipment options trumps correctly. All internal drives are not mounted in this classic drive cages, but on modular rails on which, as desired alternatively fans can be mounted.

The level and location of ventilation in F12C may thus be determined by the user complete freedom and also the other internal structure of the aluminum case is extremely flexible with a lot of leeway for individual adjustments. It comes with a total of eight short mounting rails that can be positioned variably on the housing sides and which can be so different fan or HDDs and SSDs horizontally or vertically mount at will.

Overall, 2.5-inch drives can be accommodated in the manufacturer F12C Streacom up to twelve 3.5-inch or a maximum of 24 (!). So comfortable space enable powerful hardware that would be cooled accordingly. Satte three lateral fan slots - two right, one left - are available for this. As an alternative to the media you will fans with 80 to 140 mm frame width are attached to the short-mounting rails, whose size can be mutually determined by the user himself, depending on the arbitrary distance of the rails.

Another opening on the left side is reserved for the power supply and in addition are located in the cover three more large air vents. All these fine mesh openings consist of magnetic and thus easily removable dust filters, which protect the interior against contamination. Supplied They also offer two long mounting rails for the cover, at the medium mesh opening either more fans or a 240mm dual radiator for water cooling systems can be attached.
