Akasa Cypher Thin-Mini-ITX Case 120W

The Akasa Cypher Thin-Mini-ITX 120W is a compact chassis engineered for ultra-small form factor systems. It accepts Thin Mini-ITX motherboards and integrates a 120W internal power supply, providing a ready platform for energy-efficient desktops, digital signage, or HTPC applications. Constructed from durable materials, the case offers physical protection and a low-profile footprint that suits confined workspaces and installations where space is limited. The design incorporates ventilation pathways to support passive and active cooling of installed components.

Advantages

The case combines a slim profile with a built-in 120W power unit, simplifying system assembly by eliminating the need for an external adapter. Its support for Thin Mini-ITX motherboards ensures compatibility with a range of low-power platforms. Durable construction protects internal components while the compact dimensions facilitate discreet placement in racks, behind displays, or on crowded desks. The ventilation layout improves airflow to maintain stable operating temperatures under typical loads.

Suitable for

• Slim desktop PCs and office workstations
• Home theater PCs (HTPC) and media players
• Digital signage and kiosk systems
• Space-constrained industrial or embedded installations
• Low-power development or testing platforms

Key specifications

• Form factor compatibility: Thin Mini-ITX motherboards
• Included power: 120W internal power supply
• Chassis type: ultra-compact, slim-profile enclosure
• Material: durable metal and/or reinforced panels for component protection
• Cooling: designed ventilation for improved airflow and component cooling
• Drive support: space for slim storage devices typical of Thin Mini-ITX layouts (e.g., 2.5" SATA drives or M.2 on compatible boards)

How to use

Install a compatible Thin Mini-ITX motherboard into the mounting points provided inside the chassis and connect the included 120W power supply to the board’s power connector. Fit low-profile cooling and storage devices according to the chassis’ internal layout, securing drives and cables to avoid obstructing airflow. Route external I/O such as display, network, and USB through the rear and front panel openings as required. Verify all connections before first power-up and ensure the case is placed with adequate clearance for ventilation.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, pair the case with low-power CPUs and memory modules compatible with Thin Mini-ITX boards, prioritize compact or low-profile cooling solutions, and use SSDs or M.2 storage to maximize internal space and reduce heat. Maintain unobstructed airflow around ventilation openings and perform periodic dust removal to preserve cooling efficiency.
