Introduction
I would like to thank
Streacom for supplying the review sample.
Streacom had not offered their customers a full ATX enclosure until the introduction of the F12C. Besides the ability to hold a fully sized ATX motherboard, it also brings with it a unique mounting mechanism for hard drives and fans. Available in either black or silver, we got the lighter-colored variant of the Streacom F12C here for review.

Packaging
The Streacom F12C ships in a simple brown box with a black cardboard wrap and plastic grip. On the front is the Streacom logo and model name, while the sides only hold a tiny sticker with a serial number.
The chassis is held in place by foam shapes to ensure you won't have to worry about any damage during shipping. I actually dropped the box on my way home from the post office without any consequences.
