With dimensions of 328(D) x 150(W) x 235(H) mm and a weight of 2.8 kg, the case supports Mini-ITX motherboards, SFX/SFX-L power supplies and up to 295 mm long graphics cards. It includes a pre-installed 80 mm top fan and comes with a pre-installed PCIe 3.0 riser cable with EMI shielding, 24K-gold plated contacts and a PCB protector for secure GPU installation.

Advantages

Precision CNC-cut and edge-rounded aluminum panels provide a refined exterior and durable construction. Dual-sided 4T-thick acrylic panels combine interior protection with perforations for improved airflow, and are removable using thumb screws. The case offers a smart front I/O with a power button, one USB 3.0 port and one USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port. The packaged PCIe riser cable features flexible five-wire banded construction, slide-type PCIe holding tab and robust shielding for reliable signal integrity.
