Hey [H],
I've been meaning to build a living room gaming PC, the problem I had was choosing a small factor pc case that looked presentable.
Until I came across Streacom F12C. It looks sleek and from the vid builds I've watched, could hold a fair decent amount of hardware. Except for the GPU...

Hey [H]
Has anybody had a chance to tinker with this baby? I'm looking to upgrade my main display and relegate my current 30 incher to support mode for reference images program menus and such.
Mainly for concept art creation and motion graphics with a bit of gaming.
Cheers
