Quiet PC Mamba Fanless Media PC

Fully Haswell compatible, this medium-sized aluminium-cased PC offers great power and expansion possibilities with its three low-profile PCI Express slots. Like its two siblings, it has no fans for zero noise, zero dust and zero maintenance.

PLEASE NOTE: This system is currently unavailable. It will be updated to Intel’s 6th Gen Skylake CPUs on Monday 28th September!

We are pleased to announce yet another ground-breaking example of living room PC design - the Quiet PC ‘Mamba’ Fanless Media PC.

Only the power button, power light, optical slot and remote control sensor (option) are visible on the front of the case.

  2. 100% fanless design gives zero noise and no dust build-up
  3. We build to your specification and deliver within 7 days
  4. Clean Build™ Promise and original OS+drivers supplied on DVDs
  5. Two year warranty with open-case policy
  6. Can accommodate up to three drives and three Low Profile PCI Express cards

Top Performance and Reliability

The PC itself doesn’t compromise on performance, and can be built pre-installed with up to 32 gigabytes of memory. Although Microsoft Windows will run happily on 2GB of memory, 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 Windows Media Center.

Despite its diminutive size, it packs a real punch - Intel’s 4th Generation (Haswell) 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 / Windows Defender - 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 slot-loading model. However, Windows does not have the built-in ability to play Blu-ray movie discs and if you would like to be able to do this, we recommend that you purchase third party software to enable the facility. Software such as CyberLink PowerDVD will 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.

Windows Media Center

All versions of Windows 7 include Windows Media Center which is a great way to watch and record terrestrial and/or satellite TV (in conjunction with a TV tuner card), as well as watching films, viewing photos and listening to music. Windows 8.1 and 10 do not include Media Center, although it can be added to Windows 8.1 Pro only for a nominal charge by requesting a product key on the Microsoft website. Adding Media Center to Windows 8.1 Pro also gives you the ability to play DVD films. We recommend Windows 8.1 Pro for Media Center use rather than Windows 7 because it has more features, faster performance and will be better future-proofed. Please note: The Media Center key mentioned earlier is only compatible with Pro version of Windows 8.1. PLEASE NOTE: As already stated Windows Media Center is not available with Windows 8.1 (non-Pro version) and Windows 10.

There are other programs available that offer similar features to Microsoft’s Windows Media Center. The most popular are MediaPortal and Kodi (formally known as XBMC). Both programs offer the facility to do exactly (and much more) what Windows Media Center does, although some configuration is required via plugins (add-ons) supplied by both MediaPortal and Kodi. Both pieces of software are open source which means they are free for personal use and they can be used with any Windows operating system, including Windows 8.1 (non-Pro version) and Windows 10. We highly recommend you take a look at them to see if they are more suited to your needs.

Customer Reviews

Oozes quality, warmth and silence

,

I am a returning customer. I can’t overstate how impressed I am with the quality of the Streacom FC9OD Mamba Chassis. It’s immensely solid and high quality. The chassis is made of thick aluminium sheet with a sandblasted/painted finish that is normally reserved for high-end bespoke Hi-Fi amplifiers. It’s the best case I have seen on a Windows machine.

For my build the only moving part was a Seagate ST1000LM014 1TB 2.5in Solid State Hybrid Drive (concession to the smallish 250 GB Samsung SSD). The result is a system that is so quiet, the almost inaudible hum from a subwoofers amplifier, in the corner, is now the loudest thing in the room.

Of course I expected this system to be (almost) silent, but I didn’t expect the case to be such a work of art. I would be very interested to see a variation on this concept, with low-volume air cooling from a large sized high quality fan running at low speeds. Would unlock the TDP for even higher spec internal components.

The system was delivered internationally, UK to Aus in 4 days and arrived in perfect condition due to the excellent packaging. Box-in-a-box with oversized bubble-wrap filling the space in-between.

All the spare parts and original disks are nicely bundled up in the Motherboard Box, which is a nice touch. I would however prefer you didn’t stick the Windows Licence sticker on the back of the machine, please leave these on the disk so I can put it where I prefer.

Last time I purchased a system from Quiet PC, I said I would be back. And I was. This time I am still saying, I’ll be back :)

Quiet PC, please just keep doing what you are doing, your website (purchase process), product delivery and experience is exceptional.

Quiet PC Mamba Fanless Media PC

,

First off, the pre-sales support from Andy Ford was superb. I needed some functionality checking out before purchasing and he was happy to do so. Also, I got great advice when fine tuning the final spec. Delivery time was very impressive; the PC was ordered, built and delivered in less than a week.

I’ve been using the PC for a little over a month now and it performs perfectly. It is completely silent and, due to the SSD system drive, it boots up very quickly. It is used mainly for streaming from on-line video services, and does that with ease, unlike the laptop it replaced which would sometimes overheat and cut out. HDMI out gives me full HD to a Sony TV and the optical out gives 5.1 audio to my older (non HDMI) AV amp.

The optional remote control works to switch the PC on from a total shut down state and it was easy to add that command to my Logitech Harmony remote. Quiet PC also kindly set the BIOS so that the PC would automatically boot from AC power return, which was a specific requirement that I had.

Overall, this was a superb purchase from a company that I found to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. And a company that is keen to make sure that the item you buy fully meets your needs. I can’t recommend Quiet PC highly enough. Thanks to all at Quiet PC.
