How to use

Install a Mini-ITX motherboard and an SFX or SFX-L power supply following the case manual. Mount 2.5" drives in the dedicated bays and install a graphics card using the included PCIe 3.0 riser cable and slide-type holding tab for horizontal GPU placement. Connect the front-panel USB ports and power button to the motherboard headers, secure the acrylic side panels with the thumb screws, and route cables to maintain airflow from the top vent and perforated panels.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, use low-profile CPU coolers no taller than 60 mm, keep the top 80 mm fan clear of obstructions, and choose an SFX or SFX-L power supply that fits the rear/front PSU location. When installing a long GPU, verify compatibility with the 295 mm maximum VGA length and ensure the riser cable is fully seated and the EMI shielding is intact.
