Streacom F1C EVO Mini Home Theatre Aluminium Chassis

Streacom F1C EVO WS

Features

Air cooled mini HTPC chassis
100% aluminium with brushed finish
Ideal for media centre system
Compatible with Mini ITX motherboards

Streacom’s F1C EVO is the smallest chassis we offer. It will look great in any audio visual system or home theatre, due to being made entirely from aluminium. The surface is sand-blasted and treated with anodic oxidation which prevents any unsightly finger-prints from ruining the look of the case.

The F1C EVO WS has no optical drive slot, meaning it can accommodate either three 2.5” hard drive/SSD’s or one 3.5” hard drive and one 2.5” hard drive/SSD. Although it belongs to the mini-series family, the powerful storage options available make these cases more convenient and useful. With its gorgeous looks and generous specifications, the F1C EVO is a great Mini-ITX chassis.

Recommended Components

Streacom has a comprehensive build guide that provides general tips and suggestions on what should be considered when building in a Streacom case and how to achieve the best results.

Motherboard and CPU - The F1C EVO is only compatible with Mini ITX motherboards. Because the chassis is air-cooled, there are no limitations regarding the TDP of the chosen CPU however, to keep temperatures down in a confined case like this, we would recommend using processors no higher than 35W. The only issue to consider is the size of the CPU cooler which may dictate the CPU to use. Due to the size of the chassis, it is only possible to install a CPU cooler no taller than 34mm. The Gelid Silence iPlus for Intel and the Slim Silence A-PLUS for AMD are CPU coolers that will fit the chassis; both available from Quiet PC. Also worthy of consideration are Noctua’s NH-L9i (for Intel) and NH-L9a (for AMD) low profile CPU coolers.

Power Supply - We recommend using a fanless nanoPSU which can provide up to 160W of power. This is more than enough to power a CPU that has a TDP of sub 65W along with suitable peripherals. It is recommended not to overload the number of peripherals; three HDDs/SSDs (or one SSD and one HDD) and obviously a motherboard should not be a problem for this miniature PSU.
