Portable MATX chassis

The Mechanic Master C26 Soundwave is a 13.3-litre Micro ATX case built around a detachable aluminium carry handle and a lightweight outer shell. It targets users who move a desktop between workstations, events or LAN sessions and need a sturdy enclosure that still fits in a backpack or carry-on bag.

310 mm GPU clearance

The single specification that decides fitment is the maximum graphics-card length of 310 millimetres. Cards longer than this will not install, so buyers with oversized triple-fan models must choose a different chassis or a shorter GPU.

Storage and cooling headroom

One 3.5-inch bay and two 2.5-inch bays handle an operating-system drive plus bulk storage for media or project files. The 135-millimetre CPU-cooler limit accommodates most mid-size tower coolers, while the SFX power-supply mount and lack of radiator support mean liquid-cooling loops are not an option.

Questions about this item

Does the 13.3L volume still leave room for a full-size Micro-ATX board and a 310mm graphics card?

Yes, the internal frame accepts Micro-ATX boards up to 245 x 245mm and graphics cards up to 310mm long, so a full MATX build with a long GPU fits inside the 13.3L chassis.

The case lists SFX power supply support; does that cap the PSU length at the standard SFX size?

The PSU mount is limited to SFX form factor, so only standard SFX units fit; SFX-L or ATX power supplies cannot be installed.

What clearance does the 135mm CPU cooler limit give for a tower cooler with a 90mm top fan installed?

The 135mm height limit is measured from the motherboard, so any tower cooler up to 135mm tall clears the two 80mm top fans and the glass side panel.
