How to use

Install a Micro ATX motherboard and secure the power supply (not included) in the designated compartment.

Connect front-panel USB ports to the motherboard headers and route cables to maintain unobstructed airflow.

Recommendations

For balanced cooling and noise, consider installing a 120 mm fan at the rear and a matched-size intake at the front if space allows. Use SSDs in the 2.5" bay for faster boot and application performance, and reserve 3.5" bays for mass storage. Ensure the chosen power supply dimensions are compatible with the Mini Tower layout.
