PC case Akasa Newton MC Small Form Factor (SFF) Black

The Akasa Newton MC Small Form Factor (SFF) black case is a compact aluminium chassis designed for space-efficient PC builds. It supports UCFF (Ultra-Compact Form Factor) motherboards such as Intel® NUC boards, fits 2.5" drives and provides a minimalist black exterior measuring 150 mm × 200 mm × 47 mm. The case uses a fanless aluminium CPU cooling design suitable for quiet environments and includes a front serial port and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports for basic connectivity.

Advantages

The aluminium fanless design enables passive cooling and reduced noise while maintaining thermal contact for low-power UCFF systems. Its compact footprint and black finish make it suitable for constrained workspaces. Integrated front I/O including a serial port and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports provides essential connectivity without adding bulk.

Suitable for

• Small home or office PCs where space is limited
• Business and education environments requiring quiet, low-maintenance systems
• Builds using Intel® NUC boards (e.g., NUC5i3MYBE / NUC5i3MYHE) or other UCFF motherboards

How to use

Install a UCFF/Intel® NUC compatible motherboard into the internal mounting points, secure a 2.5" drive in the designated bay, and connect power and I/O cables according to the motherboard manual. Because the case employs passive aluminium cooling, ensure the installed CPU and board are within the thermal limits appropriate for fanless operation. Position the case with adequate ventilation around it and use the front serial and USB ports for peripheral connections.

Recommendations

Use low- to mid-power Intel® NUC or UCFF motherboards intended for passive cooling. Allow at least several centimetres of clearance on the sides and top to promote heat dissipation; avoid enclosing the case in fully sealed compartments when running under sustained load.
