Streacom ST-DB4 Fanless Aluminium Bi-Symmetrical Chassis Ultra
Every 10 years or so a product is released that defies belief. It screams quality and is utterly gorgeous, the Streacom DB4 is this decade’s product!
Features
- A manufacturing masterpiece featuring a bi-symmetrical design
- Full aluminium body
- Passively cooled CPU and power supply
- Compatible with mini-ITX motherboards
The DB4 is a design masterpiece featuring a bisymmetrical design that blurs the lines between technology and art. Every element of this case subtly screams premium, from the 13mm thick extruded aluminium side panels to the precision CNC’d internal frame, all perfectly blended together with Streacom’s characteristically understated design tone.
Key to its design are the identical sides of the case which serve both as the striking monolithic exterior and the convection surface (or heat sink) for component cooling and is the basis of its fanless operation. The top of the chassis features a matt black PVC cover that has cutouts on each edge to allow heat to escape.
Motherboard compatibility has been address and the DB4 solves one of the biggest complexities of building a fanless case. With both the motherboard and side panels being parallel, the heat pipes run perpendicular, away from any components and in combination with the flexibility of the universal bracket, means that virtually all ITX motherboard are compatible with the case.
The existing CPU mount has also been re-engineered to be adjustable and universally compatible with any current desktop socket. It now features a copper shim interface between the IHS and heat pipes which creates a more efficient all copper thermal path to the heat sink, greatly improving cooling performance.
To make assembly easier, all the side panels are removable, as is the motherboard tray, leaving an open frame with plenty of accessibility. Building on the innovation of the ST-F12C, components are fitted using a universal bracket system that supports, drives, heatsink mounts and the ZF240, allowing components to be mounted anywhere along the frame of the case, delivering a truly modular and flexible layout.
The DB4 measures 260 x 260 x 270mm but still manages to accommodate an ITX motherboard, a dual slot full height PCI card (max 200mm length, 110mm height), up to 5 x 3.5” or 12 x 2.5” drives (lots of combinations in between), and can be powered by their ST-ZF240 or Nano Series PSU solutions.

Review

From a design perspective, the cube’s dimensions and perfectly constructed aluminium and uniquely shaped stands also come together to make the Streacom DB4 quite the sexy chassis. Thus, it is great to see that the interior is intricately engineered to enable utmost flexibility. The mounting plates may look simple, but the frame to attach them to, and the spring-loaded locks and mounting holes for all the panels of the chassis are really where it is at. The result is an extremely easy assembly process and that satisfaction of powering up a completely silent system.
