Chieftec Compact IX-03B Mini ITX Case - Black [IX-03B-OP]

The design of the IX-01B Chieftec has kept relatively simple, so there is a completely black case made of a steel body with air-permeable honeycomb structure, which can penetrate sufficiently air. The decorated with an aluminum plate front on the other hand, includes a glowing blue power button and the Chieftec logo, creating a cleaner and noble look is created. By magnetic feet the housing in the horizontal and vertical alignment is always a good grip.

At the back are next to the recess for the I / O Shield two more holes for the barrel connector where eventually a HTPC power supply can be connected. In addition, there is a recess for an external wireless antenna on the back, so can guarantee optimum reception. On expansion slots is completely dispensed with the IX-01B.

In also a compact interior is a Mini-ITX motherboard, and two 2.5-inch hard drives can obstruct. It must be noted that the maximum CPU cooler height of 40 mm, the block of SSDs to the appropriate height must be reduced.

If the CPU cooler is not sufficient to include full hardware in IX-01B to cool sufficiently, it is possible to build in two optional 50 mm fan in the lid. So the small enclosure offers enough potential for optimal cooled hardware.

If that is not enough to pack his office or HTPC hardware properly, the Chieftec are two optional expansion possibilities at hand. Firstly, the accessory kit MK-35DV, whereby the functionality of the housing can be increased enormously and either install a slimline optical drive or the memory capacity is increased by the use of 3.5-inch and a 2.5-inch hard drive can be. Secondly, the practical bracket WMK-04, by means of which the housing can be mounted on suitable monitors.
