Product details
This sandblasted aluminum case offers a variety of features such as Direct Touch Heatpipe cooling and slightly more space for drives thanks to the hard drive mounting. The FC10B Alpha is much more than just a computer case - like a work of art, it combines form and function. It can actually accommodate standard ATX motherboards.
The minimalist design and the use of high-quality materials further characterize the case. The entire outer shell (including the power switch) is made of sandblasted aluminum. The FC10B Alpha features passive CPU cooling with four heat pipes, including mounting materials for all current sockets. CPUs with a TDP of up to 95 W (with sufficient airflow around the case) can be operated passively (recommended for 65 W TDP).
Two USB 3.0 ports, which are internally connected to the motherboard, are already pre-installed. In addition to Mini-ITX, the FC10B Alpha can also accommodate the (Micro-)ATX standard. It can internally house three 2.5-inch drives and two 3.5-inch drives simultaneously. Depending on the components used, it is even possible to install three additional 3.5-inch drives and one more 2.5-inch drive. Two full-size expansion cards can also be installed, although this requires the use of riser cards or cables.
The massive aluminum front, with a thickness of 4 mm at the front and 9 mm on the sides, has only cutouts for the optional infrared interface and the power button. Once the hardware is installed, there are very few openings. Only the sides, bottom, and top have ventilation holes.
