“This high-specification Streacom Media PC comes fully-built and ready to go. It has no fans for zero noise, zero dust and zero maintenance.”

Beauty and power in your living room

We are pleased to announce yet another ground-breaking example of living room PC design - the Streacom FC5-Z68 Fanless Media PC. Only 60mm high and 325mm wide, it is sure to look great as the focus of any home entertainment system. The machine is supplied in a shot-blasted finish and its fascia is clean, elegant and uncluttered. Only the power button, power light, optical slot and remote control sensor (option) are visible on the front of the case.

Top Performance and Reliability

The PC itself doesn't compromise on performance, and can be built pre-installed with up to 16 gigabytes of memory. Although Microsoft Windows will run happily on 2GB of memory, unless you are on a serious budget, we recommend a minimum of 4GB to ensure that the machine has plenty to spare and will always offer excellent responsiveness whilst running PVR software such as Media Center which comes free with Windows 7.

Despite its diminutive size, it packs a real punch - Intel's 3rd Generation (Ivy Bridge) Core processors gives fantastic performance and low power consumption, allowing the machine to be cooled without any forced air whatsoever. The whole case acts as a processor heatsink, with heat being efficiently transferred from the CPU to the chassis via six copper heatpipes.

Clean Build™ Promise

The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of "junkware" which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.

Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Microsoft Security Essentials - that's it. You won't be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many months and years to come.

Blu-ray playback

If you like to watch Blu-ray films then we offer an optional Blu-ray player which is a slimline tray-loading model from LG. Although Windows 7 includes Media Center, it does not have the built-in ability to play Blu-ray discs. To address this issue, we offer Blu-ray playback software from Arcsoft which tightly integrates with Windows Media Center to allow seamless playback and control of Blu-ray movies.

Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty

We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can't offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.

Our warranty runs for two years and is "collect and return" meaning that you don't need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an "open-case" policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
