Streacom F1C EVO Mini Home Theatre Aluminium Chassis
Measuring only 197 x 197 x 75mm, Streacom’s new F1C EVO is the perfect Home Theatre PC chassis if space is a premium or minimal looks are preferred.
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.

“Excellent service at reasonable postage cost”
“This is the second order Quiet PC have sent me. Both arrived in good time and in excellent condition. Living in France, because we can’t always find what we want in the shops here, we order a lot from the UK. Some postage rates are just plain profiteering. Quiet PC’s rates are very reasonable. Also, there’s always a person at the other end of your order, so if you need to add a small item to a package you’re ordering, you don’t feel as if you’re going to get charged P&P as if the two were being sent separately - something the giants like Amazon have yet to master!”
