Compact storage tower for mini-ITX builds

The iStarUSA S-917 is a tower chassis that accepts a mini-ITX motherboard and provides seven external 5.25-inch bays plus one internal 2.5-inch bay. It targets users who need dense removable-media or hot-swap capacity in a footprint of 7.23 by 12.68 by 18.82 inches.

Straightforward assembly

The case uses standard ATX PS2 power supply mounting and two expansion slots, so most mini-ITX boards and PSUs drop in without adapters. The front door keylock and aluminum bezel add physical security but require the door to be unlatched before any drive cage can slide out.

Steady airflow under continuous operation

A single 120 mm fan draws air through the front panel across the drive bays and exhausts at the rear, keeping temperatures stable during long backup or archiving sessions. The SECC 0.8 mm chassis resists vibration when all seven bays are populated, preventing resonance that can appear in lighter enclosures.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the S-917 is running correctly after assembly?

The front panel power and HDD LEDs will illuminate when the system is on and the OS drive is active, and the single 120 mm fan should spin quietly.

What comes with the S-917 and what must I purchase separately?

The chassis includes the aluminum front bezel with one USB 2.0 port, a front door with keylock, one 120 mm fan, seven 5.25″ bays for mobile cages, one internal 2.5″ bay, and two expansion slots; you must supply a mini-ITX motherboard, an ATX PS2 power supply, drives, and any mobile drive cages.

Which S-917 configuration should I choose for maximum drive capacity?

All S-917 units are identical — seven 5.25″ external bays and one internal 2.5″ bay — so capacity depends on the mobile cages and drives you install, up to the 42-bay potential mentioned for the series.
