Compact Mini-ITX Aluminium Chassis

This aluminium Mini-ITX case accepts motherboards up to 17 cm square and is built for silent operation in living rooms, hotels or digital-signage installations. Its anodised, drawn-metal shell dissipates heat passively so the system runs without fan noise. The chassis includes a front USB 2.0 port for convenient peripheral access. It suits builders who need a discreet, fanless-capable enclosure for embedded or kiosk workloads.

Replaces Bulkier Tower Cases

The slim profile replaces traditional mid-tower housings where space is limited or acoustics matter, such as behind a display or inside a cabinet. Wall-mount, vertical and horizontal orientations give flexibility that standard towers cannot match. The jump is worth it when the deployment demands silent, dust-resistant operation in a footprint smaller than a sheet of A4 paper. Builders who require multiple expansion slots or full-size ATX power supplies should look elsewhere.

Check Motherboard And Drive Fit

Verify that the board measures exactly 17 cm by 17 cm and uses the Mini-ITX mounting pattern before ordering. Confirm whether you will install two 2.5-inch drives or a single 3.5-inch drive, as the bay layout supports only one of those configurations. Ensure the chosen CPU cooler fits within the slim internal height and that the 4010 fan mounts align with your thermal plan. No ATX power supply or full-height expansion cards are accommodated.

Questions about this item

What motherboard size does this case accept?

The case is built for a Mini-ITX board measuring 17x17 cm, so any board matching that footprint will fit.

How do I mount the case on a wall and what step is often missed?

Use the included brackets to fix the chassis vertically or horizontally; the step many skip is securing the motherboard standoffs before sliding the board in.

Which drive bays will need attention later if I want more storage?

The chassis holds two 2.5-inch notebook drives or one 3.5-inch drive; adding capacity later means swapping or stacking drives in those same bays.
