Inter-Tech JX-500 HTPC Case, Black, without Power Supply (88881283)

The Inter-Tech JX-500 is a compact Mini-ITX PC case with a brushed black front panel and a front USB 3.0 (USB 3.2 Gen 1) Type-A connector. Designed for small form factor builds, the case includes an internal DC converter board compatible with external 12 V power supplies up to 10 A (120 W). Its dimensions (200 × 240 × 65 mm) and single 2.5" drive bay make it suitable for minimalist desktop setups where space is limited.

Advantages

The JX-500 combines a space-saving Mini Tower footprint with a brushed front aesthetic and an integrated DC converter board, allowing the use of external 12 V/10 A power supplies for relatively powerful systems in a small enclosure. The case supports easy placement options such as VESA mounting behind a monitor or attachment under a desk using the supplied rails, and includes one front USB 3.0 port for fast external connectivity.
