Open-Frame ATX Chassis

The myVolts open-frame server chassis supports ATX, MATX and ITX motherboards, giving system builders a lightweight aluminium platform for custom desktop or rack configurations. Its exposed layout suits enthusiasts who prioritise component visibility and easy hardware swaps over enclosed dust protection.

Thermal Design and Noise

The open aluminium structure provides unrestricted airflow around all installed components, allowing heat to dissipate directly into the surrounding environment without fan restriction. This passive approach eliminates chassis-induced noise, leaving only the sound of the components’ own coolers during operation.

Aluminium Build and Access

The aluminium frame resists corrosion while keeping the overall weight low, and its open construction grants immediate access to every expansion slot, drive bay and cable route for rapid assembly or maintenance. Builders requiring filtered intake, sound dampening or lockable panels will need a traditional enclosed case instead.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the motherboard in this open aluminium frame, and which step do builders often miss?

Use the ATX standoffs pre-threaded in the frame, align the board I/O with the rear cut-out, then secure every screw — the step most skipped is installing the centre standoff, which prevents flex when you plug in heavy cables.

What part of this chassis will need attention or replacement after extended use?

The only serviceable items are the fan-mount screws and any dust filters you add; the aluminium frame itself has no moving parts and does not degrade under normal indoor conditions.

What is the first thermal limit you hit when running a high-wattage CPU and GPU continuously in this open frame?

With no side panels to direct airflow, the limiting factor is the static pressure of your chosen fans — if they cannot push air through the component stack, component temperatures rise before the aluminium frame reaches any thermal saturation point.
