TechPowerUp Review - FC5

Our notes to complains in review:
US version offers 150W PSU and 120W AC/DC converter instead of 80W offered in Europe.
Front I/O or card reader would destroy clean design of FC5.
Manuals are on our website.

Hardware Secrets   

Streacom FC8-OD chassis received Golden Award from Hardware Secrets, but please don't pay attention to their pictures in review.  DON'T remove cover with radiator, you may damage cooling pipes this way and there is no way you can assembly system with radiator attached to cover.

Please follow manual closely.
