Key specifications

How to use

Install an ITX motherboard and choose a power supply type (SFX or ATX) using the adjustable PSU mounting brackets to optimize interior space. Mount storage drives onto the included storage brackets, then position the brackets in the case. For liquid cooling, attach the removable radiator bracket and secure a 240 mm or two 120 mm radiators as required. Install a dual-slot GPU up to 295 mm in length. Connect front-panel USB and power cables to the motherboard, and fit the magnetic top panel or the mesh/top insert according to your airflow needs. Use the tool-less side latches for easy access during assembly or maintenance.

Recommendations

For best thermal performance, use the included steel mesh top panel or the mesh insert with additional top fans, keep the nylon filters clean, and consider the 240 mm radiator option if planning for higher CPU cooling demands. When installing an ATX PSU, verify available clearance with your chosen GPU and cooling configuration.
