Streacom DA2 Mini-ITX Case - Silver ST-DA2S

The trend towards powerful PCs in the smallest possible cases seems to show no sign of slowing down any time soon, this is due in no small part to the fact that newer hardware often packs as much performance as its larger equivalents. For the SFF (Small Form Factor) DA2, the experts at Streacom have pulled out all the stops to make something really special. Instead of traditional trays and brackets, Streacom has opted for adjustable struts that can be adjusted to meet the exact requirements of the hardware. Modders and tinkerers will have free rein over the interior of the Streacom DA2. Equally remarkable is the fact that the case will support a 240 mm radiator to boot.The Streacom DA2 Mini-ITX Case at a Glance:Extremely compact dimensions (180 x 286 x 340 mm) with a volume of 17,5 LitresPremium anodised aluminium exterior with brushed aluminium surfacesUnique bracket design for unparalleled modularity when installing hardwareSupports dual-slot gaming graphics cards with lengths of up to 33 cmSupports GPU installation without resorting to a riser moduleSupports Mini-ITX format motherboards (all sockets from AMD & Intel)Space for powerful ATX- or SFX power supplies6x 2,5" drives or 3x 3,5" drivesOptimal Space Usage & Ingenious DesignOffering extremely compact dimensions of just 180 by 286 by 340 mm (W x H x D), the Streacom DA2 chassis provides an impressive volume of 17,5 Litres. The fact that a complete gaming PC can be installed in spite of this size format is achieved thanks to a tremendously innovative design: rails are attached at the top and bottom of each side. Brackets in the form of narrow struts can be threaded in there, which can be used both vertically and horizontally. The respective hardware is then attached to these braces. This provides maximum freedom in positioning the motherboard, graphics card and even a 280 mm radiator. In addition, the back can be rotated 180 degrees to enable even more unusual layouts. The only exception here is the bracket for the power supply, which actually consists of two larger frames. One allows an ATX- or SFX form factor PSU to the front of the Streacom DA2. The ATX format limits the possible length of the graphics card to 220 mm, otherwise VGAs 330 mm long are supported. The second frame is then screwed to it and serves to hold three 3.5" or even six 2.5" drives. The power supply cable is then guided from the front to the back.The Size of a Games Console but Much More PowerfulThe aesthetics of this ingenious little case are equally impressive given the flawless craftsmanship of the anodized aluminium. The metal is 2 mm thick and the stylish hairline finish makes for a striking look. The sleek front panel of the DA2 includes a power button and a single USB 3.0 Type C port that connects to the 19 pin internal motherboard header. The clever cooling design is minimalist in outlook, with the versatile bracket design also generally able to be set up as users prefer. Supported fans can be between 40
