Streacom FC8 Fanless Case Review

Inside the Streacom FC8 Fanless

In order to open the FC8 Fanless, you need to remove two screws located on the bottom panel and two screws located on the right side panel. The case consists of two U-shaped aluminum sheets, one with the bottom, rear, and front panels, and another with the left, top, and right panels. The interior is very clean, and all you will see is the disk drive tray. As already explained, this case is compatible only with Mini-ITX motherboards.

Figure 7: Overall look

The disk drive tray supports the installation of a slim optical drive (i.e., originally developed for laptops), one 3.5” hard drive, and one 2.5” storage device. The devices must be installed using regular screws, and the 3.5” bay has rubber washers in order to absorb vibration, which reduces noise.
