Today it seems that the most popular cases are small mini- or mid-tower cases for mini-ITX or micro-ATX-motherboards. This is of course mirrored by companies offering mainly standing tower-type cases. If you want a 'laying? case you usually have to look to smaller companies that still offers this older type of case, mainly for HTPC-builds.

Streacom is such a company that has a full range of cases for those who do not want or need a tower-case. Mostly those cases have been of the smaller variety for ITX-motherboards and for fanless solutions but today we are reviewing the Streacom F12C case, a case that can handle an ATX motherboard and comes with a innovating new system to mount both fans and storage drives. The case was supplied for the review by quietpc.com.
