Fractal Design Core 1100 USB 3.0 Black Micro ATX/Mini-ITX Case

Building a compact PC often means sacrificing drive space or airflow, but the Fractal Design Core 1100 solves that by fitting a micro ATX or mini ITX build into a clean, black micro tower with room for two 5.25-inch drives and two 3.5-inch drives.

Who is it for

Ideal for home office users, students, and system builders who need a small-footprint case without giving up essential drive bays or front-panel USB 3.0 connectivity.

Main features

• Supports micro ATX and mini ITX motherboards in a compact micro tower form factor.
• Front I/O includes one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, and audio in/out jacks.
