Omaura TF-8 HTPC Chassis

 


Omaura TF-8 HTPC Chassis 

The TF8 is perfectly suited as an ideal enclosure to house a heavily deployed Home Theatre PC ready to cope with heavy processing demand. Even with such a high level of processing capacity the unit is enclosed within a compact chassis measuring in it at only 435x401x100mm (WxDxH). Constructed around the premium aluminium extruded structures of the TF line with an exceptionally strong steel base and drive cages to ensure that well built systems can survive the extreme hardships of express shipping companies. All of this beautifully designed enclosure mounted upon four entirely aluminium extruded feet.

Fitting into the superb TF design structure for perfect integration within the rest of the TF series family product the style cannot be beaten. Integrating the Acryl front panel discretely hiding the front I/O ports we have created a consistent, simple yet functional design that will enhance your living room and any existing AV setups without upsetting the balance.

The TF8 has a depth that will allow it to slide into most audio racks without creating an eyesore. At only 10cm tall it slices away the profile of its similarly powered competitors by being 25% shorter.


All you can install HTPC style

Four low profile expansion cards, a full ATX power supply, a Micro ATX motherboard, four hard drives, a full size CDROM. Want all this in your living room? Expect its going to consume a good portion of it in the process? The days of mainframes taking entire rooms are long gone, so too are the days of having a 15cm tall HTPC enclosure capable of handling the hardware you want to get the power you need. The TF8 is capable of housing all the hardware that a high end media center requires.

Not only can you pack the enclosure full of powerful hardware, the enclosure can be used in conjunction with the Omaura Remote Kit for a seamless integrated experience with Microsoft Media Center.

Bigger is not always better but being able to expand sure is!
