The case is a mini tower that is designed to work with Micro-ATX mainboards. The case is also designed to be quiet and to keep the components inside cool.

The cooling system has a 120mm fan installed inside and has spots on the back for 80mm or 90mm fan for more cooling performance.

The chassis measures 180 x 352 x 440mm and weighs 8.84 pounds. Inside the case are five hidden 3.5" bays and a single exposed 3.5" bay. The IO panel has USB and audio ports with optional FireWire and eSATA ports. The case supports standard ATX PS2 power supplies. Pricing and availability are unknown at this time.
