FEATURES
Micro Tower
A beautiful black finish, with bright aluminum top and accents. The very small footprint keeps your desk uncluttered. 135w x 203d x 246h (5.3 x 8.0 x 9.7")
Mini-ITX Form Factor
Built for mini-ITX size motherboards and 2-slot mini-ITX GPUs but still with enough room for a SFX-L+ size power supply.
Solid Construction
No plastic or flimsy sheet metal: 2mm aluminum alloy interior and 1.5mm aluminum alloy cover. Threaded inserts prevent thread wear and stripping.
To give it good looks it has a black powder-coated internal chassis.
Open and Accessible
Open architecture simplifies working in the case. Cutout behind MB for access to backplane. Access M.2 connector and CPU cooler bracket without removing MB.
Cutout in front of the PSU to simplify cable installation.
Fantastic Ventilation
The GPU and CPU mount on opposite sides of the case, and the PSU is at the bottom. There are fresh air intakes for all three. No hot air recirculation and no PSU covering up the MB cooler. The case fits CPU coolers up to 65mm tall. A bottom case fan can be added for more cooling.
Versatility
Drive locations can be repurposed for Front I/O, SFX-L PSUs, or a Case Fan.
