Test: Streacom DA2 ITX ALU kabinet

Konklusion

Streacom DA2 er et spøjst lille kabinet. Det er så simpelt og enkelt at det lidt forsvinder, og så alligevel ikke. Det er lavet i rent aluminium og det ser godt ud. Deres beslag system, hvor man skal montere hardwaren i, skal man lige aflure, men når man har fanget den så er det ganske nemt at arbejde med. Der kan monteres mere inde i det lille kabinet end man regner med, dog skal man tage højde for at en standard ATX PSU vil fylde lidt rigeligt og det er bestemt ikke alle grafikkort der kan mases derind. Dog ville de fleste sagtens kunne få opfyldt deres behov ved at have et lille kabinet som DA2. Det der er forskellen på DA2 og de andre i klassen er bare at dette her er designet flot og elegant. Det er et design der tiltaler de fleste og som kan matche ind mange steder, grundet det enkle udtryk. Streacom laver en del ekstra tilbehør som kan tilkøbes ved siden af. Blandt andet de nævnte glas sider.
 

Innovation/Technology - 4
Grundet den lidt anderledes måde at installere sin hardware på syntes jeg at det skal have et 4 tal. Det er ikke en måde jeg er stødt på før og når man først har fundet fidusen så fungere det ganske udemærket.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
Der er en del ting med, plus en unbraconøgle skønt at se. Desværre er der kun et støvfilter til den ene side af kabinettet hvilket er lidt underligt.

Design/Layout - 5
Jeg ved godt design er en smagssag men dette kabinet er i min optik flot og lækkert udført. Det er simpelt og det udstråler noget ret cool som tiltaler de fleste.

Pris - 4
Prisen er i den høje ende, men man betaler for designet, og vil man have dette design så skal man finde 1700,- frem som det står til i skrivende stund.

UK summary

Streacom DA2 is a funny little case. It is so simple and elegant that it easily blends in, but not quite after all. It is made i pure aluminium and looks good. Streacoms mounting system, where you mount the hardware into, needs some getting used to, but when you learned it, it is quite easy to work with. It is possible to install more into the little case than is expected, but you have to consider that a full-sized ATX power supply will take op much of the case and it is not going to fit all full-sized graphics cards. But with that said, most people will have no trouble getting their needs met. The difference between DA2 and other cases in the class, is the design, which looks nice and elegant. It is a design that most people could match up in the setups, due to the simplistic look. Streacom makes a lot of extra accessories which can be bought, among other the aforementioned glass panels.
 

Innovation/Technology - 4
Due to the alternative way to install your hardware in the case, I will give it a 4. It is not a method I encountered before and when you first get the hang of it, it works quiet well.

Bundle/Accessories - 3
There is a bunch of accessories bundled, including a unbraco-wrench - which is nice. Unfortunally there is only dust filter for the one side of the case, which I find odd.

Design/Layout - 5
I know the design is a personal preference, but in my view, this case is looks and is built quite nice. It is simple and emits something quiet cool which is appealing to most.  

Price - 4
The price is in the high end of the spectrum, but you pay for the design, and if you want it, you will have to put up 1700,- which is costs at the time of writing.
