A Message from the Streacom Team

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Passively cooled products can get hot to the touch, especially when systems are 

running at high loads for extended periods. This is a normal part of their operation and 

they have been tested to run safely under these conditions. Please take their 

operational temperature into consideration when positioning and handling.

Introduction to Assembling Your Case

It’s not rocket science, but Streacom cases can be a little challenging to assemble at first because of the non traditional design and the materials used. Passive cooled 
cases have an added layer of complexity because of the heatpipe assembly/hardware requirements, so please take the time to read the user guide and become 
familiar with the components and assembly procedure. Additional information is also available on our website ‘system build guide’ page, and of course from our 
support staff.

Below is a quick explanation of the different screws used in the assembly, and how they will be referred to throughout the guide. Screws are defined by head type, 
e.g. ‘countersunk’ and by thread/size e.g. M3x5, and will be labeled with all that information, e.g. CS-M3x5

Thank you for choosing Streacom! In a market dominated by generic and uninspired products, we are on a mission to break the mold, not only of design, but 
materials and finish. This is a value that is not easily conveyed in an industry preoccupied with specs and numbers, so your choice shows an appreciation and 
understanding of what makes our products different, and we sincerely thank you for that.

Every care has been taken to ensure that this product meets the highest quality and standards we have defined. If anything about this product falls short of 
your expectations or you have any questions that are not covered in this user guide, please contact us online at www.streacom.com/contact. We respond to 
every question received and your feedback is a critical part of our ongoing product development and refinement.

From everyone at Streacom, we hope that you enjoy using our product!
