Anandtech reviewed the new Streacom FC10 case: Streacom's FC10 and Nano150: Building a Fanless Ivy Bridge HTPC What's interesting is that they say (with a 55W TDP CPU): ... it must be noted that we have mounted the Sapphire HD 7750 Ultimate in the PCIe slot and also connected a flexible PCIe riser t...

Another review for the fanless 520:
Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520W Power Supply Review

Can't anybody make clear what's the difference between the Samsung 830 and Samsung 840 pro in real-life situations? This is the closest i think thou not exactly real-life: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6328/samsung-ssd-840-pro-256gb-review/4 http://www.anandtech.com/show/6328/samsung-ssd-840-pro-25...

Seasonic Platinum Fanless 520 W Power Supply Review
Superb. Probably the new champion here.
Those room temp are insane.
I'll wait for spcr review before ordering it, I know at 230V it will have even higher efficiency but i'm curious just how high
Anxiously waiting for Mike's review

I don't think anyone has ... I couldn't find any reviews of the FC10 case, not even one.
And all the websites that have it for sale none of them have it on stock and you can only pre-order it

I dug arround the web for additional info regarding the FC10 case. Very interesting. On a news article on anandtech.com, "Ganesh T S" one of the anandtech staff people and the author of this news comments the following: (you can see it here: Streacom Updates Passive HTPC Chassis Lineup with FC9 and ...

Found another good candidate for the discrete graphics card, a low profile one, good for fitting inside of such a small case albeit it's a max. 130W TDP part: AFOX Radeon HD 7850 Low Profile AF7850-2048D5L1 Remove the factory cooling system, attach the heatpipes from HFX and voila, you have a very s...

How's that review going?

How come Streacom make no mention of graphics card cooling? Is the graphics card set of heatpipes a separate option? Yeah, it's a wasted opportunity from Streacom ... they only use and advertise the right part of the case as a passive heatsink whereas the left part is unused and unadvertised as a p...

Look at the post before mine by the user 'Highfi'... The damnest thing, it could be a forum bug or the browser cache? but somehow I didn't saw the post made by Highfi. I couldn't see his post, plain and simple. It was not shown by the forum system hence me asking what were you reffering to. But now...

Forgive me for being a bit sceptical here but if the FC10 is only designed for a 95W CPU and makes no mention of graphics cooling, how is a 170W graphics card possibly going to be kept cool? I'm sorry but I dont understand what you're saying. Did anyone in this topic mentioned FC10 before? I dont s...

Hi and thanks again for your time. So if I can dream of miniATX cases then i won't be needing a miniATX motherboard (17x17cm)? Or can one install a microATX motherboard (25x25cm) in a miniATX case? I ask this because that Lian Li Q18 is a miniATX case and so far i've been eyeing one microATX motherb...

Thanks again for finding the time to help me with your precious knowledge, this is much appreciated. Regarding the CPU : I searched the net and I was thinking of choosing the i7-3770T, a 4-core CPU that has a max TDP of 45W. Or if this is too much then maybe the i5-3470T, a 2-core CPU that has a max...

To all: thank you for your kind replies, you are all very nice. So, as individual components the parts can be fanless but when put together in a system they cannot run fanless unless it's a very very low power one on which you cannot even have a mild-gaming experience. I'll wait for the new Seasonic...

Hello guys, I'm thinking of building a completely fanless PC, it will be used at home (internet, office work, movies, moderate gaming etc) When I say moderate gaming i'm talking about 1680x1050 and not shooters, racers or other fast pacing games, just some (a)RPGs ... right now i'm a big fan of Path...

This is great ... and it can only get better ...

I'd go with Corsair since it's the same with S12-550 Energy+ but has modular cables ...
The PSU's from Corsair are made by Seasonic. It's the same.
