The FC10 follows the same vision as the FC9, a stunning design that delivers new levels of compatibility and performance, but with a 435mm wide form factor that perfectly complements any home theatre setup. The all-aluminium sandblasted finish houses a multitude of features such as heat pipe Direct Touch cooling, universal optical drive eject button and a pivoting drive cage that makes assembly easier than ever. More than just a computer enclosure, the FC10 is a work of art that beautifully combines form and function.
It’s not easy to improve on the stunning design of the original FC10, so we didn’t, instead we focused on the performance and tweaked the finish of its beautiful exterior.
Internal airflow has been optimized with a revised bottom panel layout and drive tray, both of which also allow for more drives and the use of our new optical drive tray.
The expansion slots have been adjusted to accommodate dual slot cards and USB ports are now located on both side panels for easier access and balance.
As with all Alpha cases, we have improved manufacturing tolerances, introduced a new refined sandblast finish, USB3.0 is native, the power LED is now a subtle pure white, the heat pipes and mounts have been uprated, and it’s available with and without an optical drive opening.
What is true of the original FC10 can be said for the FC10 Alpha, its a work of art that beautifully combines form and function.
The original FC10 was launched in 2012 and was replaced by the V2 AKA the Alpha version
