RAIJINTEK METIS PLUS Mini Tower PC case Red — Mini-ITX, 1x 3.5 inch bay, 4x 2.5 inch bays, 120 mm fans

RAIJINTEK METIS PLUS is a compact Mini-ITX aluminium mini tower case in red. The upgraded METIS design combines a hairline-anodized aluminium finish with support for standard ATX power supplies, a 170 mm graphics card and a 160 mm CPU cooler height, while keeping a small footprint (190 × 277 × 254 mm) and a lightweight construction (2.12 kg). The case includes one pre-installed 120 mm rear O-type LED fan, space for an optional top 120 mm fan, a transparent side window and front I/O with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type‑A ports.

Advantages

The METIS PLUS offers a solid aluminium build that improves heat dissipation and keeps the case lightweight. It supports a full-size ATX power supply and relatively long graphics cards (up to 170 mm), providing flexibility in component choice for a Mini-ITX system. Storage options include one 3.5" bay plus four 2.5" bays for combined HDD and SSD configurations. The pre-installed rear 120 mm O-type LED fan and option for a top fan help maintain airflow in the compact interior.

• Compact Mini-ITX gaming or productivity PCs with discrete GPU up to 170 mm

For best thermal performance in this compact aluminium case, use a low-profile CPU cooler within the 160 mm clearance, ensure good cable management to avoid blocking airflow, and consider adding the optional top 120 mm fan when using a discrete GPU or high-power components.
