Compact tower for mini-ITX storage builds

This black aluminium and steel tower accepts a mini-ITX motherboard and provides three hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays plus one internal 2.5-inch bay. It is aimed at builders who need dense, front-accessible storage in a small footprint without a full-sized server rack.

Single 120 mm fan and front ventilation

One 120 mm fan is included to move air across the drive cage and motherboard area. The 4 mm aluminium front panel and mesh styling assist passive airflow, while the compact dimensions of 8.90 by 8.68 by 12.76 inches limit internal volume for high-wattage components.

Silver hot-swap handles and Flex PSU support

Each 3.5-inch bay uses a silver handle for tool-free drive changes and supports 6.0 Gb/s SATA and SAS drives. The chassis is compatible with Flex form-factor power supplies, and the front panel offers two USB 2.0 ports for local media access.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 3.5" drives into the hot-swap bays and what step is often missed?

Slide each drive into a front bay until the silver handle clicks, then secure the handle latch; the step often missed is fully engaging the latch so the SATA/SAS connector seats at 6.0Gb/s.

What maintenance or replacement will the cooling system need later?

The single 120mm fan is the only active cooling component; plan to clean its blades periodically and replace the fan if noise or airflow drops.

What limit appears first when the chassis runs under sustained load?

With only one 120mm fan and three 3.5" drives, thermal headroom is the first constraint; sustained write loads can raise internal temperatures before drive or interface limits are reached.
