After debuting its original 'SG10' fanless PC case at CES 2023, Streacom is gearing up to launch its 'SG10 Copper Edition' all-heatsink PC case for enthusiasts on January 21st, 2024. This case utilizes a huge copper heatsink on the top of the case that then connects to both the GPU and CPU from what Streacom calls the 'Loop Heat Pipe' (LHP).
Despite the fact that this PC case does not have any equipped cooling fans or liquid cooling systems, it is capable of dissipating heat up to 600 watts of power. This means that both the CPU and GPU configuration will need to output less than 600 watts combined. As a result of this, consumers must specify which GPU they intend to use with the case out of a list of supported GPUs at the point of sale. Streacom stresses the importance of using a supported GPU as the company needs to manufacture a custom coldplate for each GPU.
It is important to note that consumers require a pledge voucher in order to purchase the SG10 Copper Edition. However, pledge vouchers may still be available for purchase at a URL linked on the SG10 Copper Edition's store page. On top of this, the SG10 Copper Edition retails for $1,754.08 USD.
