Chieftec IX-06B-OP computer case Small Form Factor (SFF) Black

The Chieftec IX-06B-OP Small Form Factor Black is a compact PC case designed for efficient space use while supporting mainstream office and home systems. It accepts Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards, accommodates up to two 2.5" drives, and provides front-panel USB and audio connectivity. With a slim footprint (66 mm × 265 mm × 300 mm) and lightweight SPCC construction, the case can be placed vertically, laid flat, or mounted behind a monitor using an optional VESA kit. Compatible with external 85W or 120W AC-DC adapters paired with DC-DC converter boards to supply power for small-form-factor builds.

Advantages

The IX-06B-OP offers a very small footprint that fits constrained workspaces while still supporting two 2.5" drives and mainstream Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboards. Front USB Type-A and audio ports provide convenient everyday access. Its SPCC construction balances durability and low weight (approximately 1.7 kg), and multiple placement options — vertical, horizontal or VESA-mounted — increase installation flexibility. The case is compatible with external AC-DC adapters (85W or 120W) plus DC-DC converter boards to deliver adequate power for compact systems.

Suitable for

• Office PCs and business workstations with limited desk space
• Home theater or living-room PCs where compact size is important
• Lightweight Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX builds using up to two 2.5" SSD/HDDs

How to use

Install a Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboard and mount up to two 2.5" drives in the provided bays. Connect front USB Type-A and audio cables to the motherboard headers according to the board manual. If an internal power supply is not used, attach a compatible external AC-DC adapter (85W or 120W) and a matching DC-DC converter board to feed the motherboard and devices. Choose the preferred orientation — vertical, horizontal or VESA-mounted — and secure the case following the included or separately purchased VESA kit instructions.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, verify the combined power requirements of your chosen CPU, storage and peripherals and select an external adapter and DC-DC converter board that provide sufficient wattage and correct voltage rails. Ensure adequate airflow around the case when it is placed in tight spaces or mounted behind a screen.
