PC case Akasa Newton S7D Small Form Factor Black

The Akasa Newton S7D Small Form Factor Black is a compact PC case designed for efficient use of space while maintaining a minimalist appearance. Built from aluminium with a black finish, this enclosure supports UCFF motherboard form factors and accommodates 2.5" storage drives. Its external power supply layout reduces internal volume requirements, making the Newton S7D suitable for tight workspaces, media centres, digital signage applications and compact desktop builds.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a balance of light weight and durability with passive heat dissipation properties. A small footprint (176 mm wide, 200 mm deep, 53.6 mm high) allows placement on crowded desks or mounting in constrained locations. Front connectivity includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A ports and two USB 2.0 ports for peripherals and external storage. The design omits 3.5" and 5.25" bays to prioritise space efficiency and a slim profile.

Suitable for

• Compact desktop PCs and home office systems
• UCFF motherboard-based HTPC and media centre builds
• Digital signage and kiosk installations
• Space-constrained environments such as small apartments or shared workstations

How to use

Install a compatible UCFF motherboard and mount a 2.5" drive in the provided bracket or bay. Connect an external power adapter to the dedicated input; the case does not include an internal power supply. Route cables neatly to preserve airflow and close the case panels according to the manufacturer's instructions. Use the front USB ports to attach peripherals, external storage or input devices. Ensure the PC is placed on a stable, flat surface with adequate clearance around ventilation areas.

Recommendations

For best thermal performance, choose low-power UCFF motherboards and M.2 or 2.5" SSDs rather than high-consumption components. Verify compatibility of the external power adapter with your motherboard and chosen components before installation.
