Streacom ST FC8B Alpha HTPC fanless aluminum housing - black [ST-FC8B-ALPHA]

The FC8B Alpha is the next level of success fanless Streacom FC8B and offers a variety of enhancements that continue to keep this case on the cutting edge of design and performance. Here is the version without slot for an optical drive - for systems with such a drive is also a variant with a corresponding opening available.

The ultra-efficient heat sink is equipped with direct-touch heatpipes for even better cooling performance. The high quality aluminum casing has been perfected with a fine sand blasting. The front USB connectors are polarized from the outset to USB 3.0, but offer optional USB 2.0 support also, if you acquire an optional accessory. Internal changes simplify the installation of drives and provide support for a 2.5 and two 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch full four drives. These are mounted on the tray and can be decoupled with rubber sleeves. Among then finds the motherboard into place. A low-profile PCI card up to 230 mm length can also be used.

Just like its predecessor, the FC8B Alpha is a perfect building block for a silent computer system. The delivery is at the alpha version of a passive CPU cooler including heat pipes and mounting material for all current socket. CPUs up to a TDP of 95 W can be easily operated passively.

The solid aluminum front with 4 mm thickness houses the recess for the infrared interface and the power button and the USB 3.0 ports, which now have a little more distance between them. If the hardware is installed, only very few openings are available. Only at the rear and in the bottom ventilation openings are recessed. In addition, a page is designed as cooling fins - beautiful design and high functionality.

In addition, the mini-housing for an IR receiver (sold separately) is prepared, so it can be used perfectly in the living room as a small HTPC. In this case, the FC8B Alpha adds its beautiful appearance perfectly into any interior. To operate a NanoPSU is required (at Caseking available).
