Fanless Mini-ITX aluminium chassis

The Streacom ST-FC8B-ALPHA-OPT is a fanless Mini-ITX chassis built from premium grade 6063 aluminium with 4mm thick extruded panels. It targets builders who need a completely silent system without moving parts. The case relies on its external heatsink fins and stealth side vents for passive convection cooling. It is not for buyers who want active airflow or liquid cooling support.

Passive thermal capacity under sustained load

The redesigned heatsink is sleeker, easier to clean and balanced for future heatpipe configurations. A single-piece top panel extrusion removes venting holes, reducing internal dust while improving convection airflow over long sessions. The chassis handles continuous thermal load through its aluminium mass and heatpipe mounts rather than short-burst fan curves. It is not for workloads that exceed the passive dissipation limits of the case material.

Thermals, noise and power draw in normal use

With no fans installed, the system runs at zero decibels during typical desktop use. The aluminium body acts as a large heatsink, drawing heat from the CPU through upgraded heatpipes to the external fins. Power draw is determined entirely by the chosen components, as no power supply is included. It is not for builds that require high-wattage components without additional thermal planning.

Questions about this item

How does the fanless aluminium chassis handle heat when the system runs continuously?

The 4 mm thick 6063 aluminium panels act as a large heatsink; a redesigned top extrusion and stealth side vent improve convection airflow so heat dissipates silently without fans.

Which power supply and motherboard must I already have to build in this case?

You need a Mini-ITX motherboard and a separate power supply — the chassis includes neither, and only low-profile expansion cards fit the single slot.

Will my existing 3.5-inch hard drives and low-profile add-in card fit alongside the new motherboard?

The removable tray accepts up to two 3.5-inch drives or five 2.5-inch drives depending on configuration, and the single expansion slot is low-profile only.
