Streacom benchtable BC1 Mini V2 black — compact passive-cooled open-frame chassis

Streacom benchtable BC1 Mini V2 black is a compact open-frame chassis designed for small form-factor builds, test benches and showcase systems. The minimalist structure offers easy access to components and flexible mounting options for a motherboard, storage devices and expansion cards. The open design supports passive-cooled or actively cooled configurations and is intended as a practical platform for assembly, diagnostics and component display.

Advantages

The open-frame construction provides unobstructed airflow and straightforward cable routing while keeping overall weight and footprint to a minimum. Its compact dimensions and modular mounting points make it simple to install a range of mini-ITX motherboards, storage drives and GPU solutions that fit within the chassis envelope. The black finish and clean lines suit both lab environments and showcase systems where component visibility and accessibility are important.

Suitable for

• Small form-factor desktop builds (mini-ITX)
• Hardware test benches and laboratory setups
• Passive-cooled systems and low-noise home servers
• Component showcase and troubleshooting stations

Key specifications

• Form factor compatibility: mini-ITX motherboards
• Chassis type: open-frame benchtable
• Cooling support: passive-cooled configurations and fan-cooled options
• Drive mounting: flexible locations for 2.5" or 3.5" storage devices depending on build
• Expansion support: single-slot or low-profile expansion cards depending on layout
• Material and finish: black metal frame with minimalist design
• Accessibility: tool-friendly mounting and open access to ports and connectors

How to use

Place the Streacom BC1 Mini V2 on a stable, level surface and secure the chosen mini-ITX motherboard to the designated mounting points. Route power and data cables to maintain unobstructed airflow, and install storage devices and any low-profile expansion hardware in the available mounting locations. For passive-cooled builds, select components with appropriate thermal profiles and ensure that heatsinks and heat spreaders have clear exposure to ambient air. For active cooling, install fans or blowers in positions that complement the open-frame airflow.

Recommendations

Use components compatible with mini-ITX form factor and verify cooling requirements before final assembly. When building a passive-cooled system, prefer low-TDP CPUs and efficient heatsinks. For test bench use, keep cable lengths tidy and use removable storage or adapters to speed up component swaps.
