Streacom FC8 Evo Fanless Chassis Review

Cases & PSU/Cases by stefan @ 2013-06-18

The FC8 Evo case from Streacom has a very clean, professional look and is ideal for people which want absolute silence when working at their PC. The installation instructions are explained with both photos and text and if we are patient, there should be no issues. Also, there are plenty of additional accessories that can be bought from them like the slot-loading optical drive, USB 3.0 cable or IR sensor + remote.

Conclusive Thoughts

The FC8 Evo case from Streacom has a very clean, professional look and is ideal for people which want absolute silence when working at their PC. If the installation guide is followed correctly, we can perform the installation without issues but before ordering the case and depending what motherboard we are planning to install inside the chassis, we should also look at the accessories. If our motherboard did not come with a DC-IN jack and a power supply, then we must purchase the optional Nano150 PSU, which was designed to fit perfectly inside the case.

 

Next, we have the SC30 USB 3.0 Internal Cable, which must be acquired if our motherboard comes with an USB 3.0 header; if we would like to install the optical drive, then we should also acquire the SSATA Slimline SATA cable, for being able to connect it to our motherboard (the optical drive must be a slot-loading model and can be also purchased from Streacom).

 

Also, we can choose to order the IRRC Remote & Receiver kit in order to equip the chassis with Media Center capabilities (the IR sensor will occupy an USB 2.0 header from the motherboard).

 

The Streacom ST-FC8S Evo chassis can be acquired from CaseKing for about 149.90 Euros. Regarding the accessories, the NANO150 PSU sets us back 89.90 Euros, the USB cable 13.90 Euros and the IRRC Remote + Receiver 24.90 Euros.
