    Streacom DB4 - Clean & Simple

    Let me know how you fare on getting more of the brackets. I'm curious if they are the same brackets from the DA2? It would make sense from a company standpoint if they were able to reuse the same 'universal' mount between chassis! The heatpipe pressing blocks are interesting. I'd love to see...

    Streacom DB4 - Clean & Simple

    I don't have any that I am currently looking to sell. I have four of them in my case currently with upgrade plans to use the remaining blocks as well, depending on thermal performance gains. Other than finding an LH6 kit I'd suggest reaching out to Streacom and just asking them if you could...

    News MonsterLabo 16L Passive Case

    That'd be really interesting to compare if Monsterlabo did some fin density tests. I could see a higher fin density being better for active cooling but I think the lower density should, like you said, help with natural convection allowing more natural airflow. I'm guessing they probably tested...

    News MonsterLabo 16L Passive Case

    Lots of great information here, thanks Duality! I'll be looking forward to seeing your build and what temps you get in a passive as well as semi passive setup! I could see some really awesome temps with low RPM's on a huge fan like that(not to mention it'd be inaudible)! The access to ports...

    News MonsterLabo 16L Passive Case

    Happened across some targeted advertising the other day that interested me! This looks like a new company coming into the case and cooling market. Interesting concept that looks like the early Calyos passive cooling setup, though it looks like this one uses regular old heat pipes rather than...

    Project Kase², My NAS

    I've quite liked these HP mini-servers! I'm also partial to the Thecus N7510, though it's a bit taller. I have an Icydock 6 2.5" to 5.25" drive bay floating around somewhere and liked it when I had it installed. The FS204 looks pretty similar, pretty cool little option! I'd be curious if you...

    Streacom DB4 - Clean & Simple

    Hey TinyAudio! Looking at the case and taking a few measurments, I think you could work out two motherboards in the same case! I think putting another ITX board would be quite a bit of work but have you thought about using a USFF motherboard or even putting a NUC in the case? If you plan to...

    Streacom DB4 - Clean & Simple

    Warning: Please excuse the poor image quality in this post. It's quite hard to take decent photographs of LED's... Update: Back in October I found a great deal on a 3D printer from my local Craigslist. After printing some cable combs for my DB4 I started thinking about what I could print next...

    Streacom DB4 - Clean & Simple

    Small Update: Got some parts in from the awesome team over at Streacom! This will be the start of the upgraded cooling and the conversion of the GPU to make everything passive! Streacom sent me over seven(!) more side panel heatsinks as well as another CPU block/shim setup! I plan to use the...

    Thanks Jordy! Here is my current desk setup! I just moved across country about a month ago so it's quite empty currently. Sorry for the lighting - Working with the two desk lamps you can see in the other pictures stretched as far as they will go!

    Streacom DB4 - Clean & Simple

    Hello SFF community, I've had my Streacom DB4 in its current state for about 7-8 months now and figured it was about time to share progress and my experience! I set my expectations for this build pretty high and, so far, I've yet to be let down! This setup needed to cover quite a few bases...

    Streacom DB4 build: "The Zen of Yin"

    Where did you get the extra, full length, Aluminum heatpipe blocks that contact the case sides? I see at least 4 of them in this build and they don't appear to be the LH6 half length blocks. Looking forward to see how things perform for you on this! I'm up in the air on if I want to add more...
