Compact Mid-Tower for High-Airflow Builds

The Pop Air Black is an ATX mid-tower case built around a hexagonal mesh front panel that prioritises airflow. It accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and comes without a side window or any LED lighting. Three Aspect 12 fans are pre-installed, two at the front and one at the rear.

Straightforward Assembly With Common Pitfalls

Installation uses standard screw points and the power supply mounts at the bottom. The two included drive trays each hold a 3.5 and a 2.5 drive simultaneously, but only two of the three possible 3.5 bays and two of the four 2.5 bays are populated out of the box. Front-panel cables for the two USB 3.0 ports and audio jacks are short, so route them early. The optional USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C upgrade kit is sold separately and requires its own internal header.

Cooling and Clearance Limits

Radiator support tops out at 280 mm in the front, 240 mm at the top with a 46 mm RAM-height restriction, and 120 mm at the rear. Graphics cards up to 405 mm fit with the front fans in place. The CPU cooler height limit is 170 mm and the power-supply length limit is 170 mm. Seven expansion slots are available for full-length cards.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the three pre-installed Aspect 12 fans are spinning after I build in the FD-C-POA1A-01?

Power on the system and visually check the front pair and rear fan through the mesh; each 120 mm fan should rotate steadily and appear in BIOS or fan-control software with an RPM reading above zero.

What ships in the box and which items such as a power supply or USB-C front-port kit must be purchased separately?

The case includes two front 120 mm Aspect fans, one rear 120 mm Aspect fan, two 3.5"/2.5" combo trays, mounting hardware and manuals; a PSU and the optional USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C upgrade kit are not included.

Which drive-tray configuration should I choose if I need three 3.5" hard drives and four 2.5" SSDs in this case?

Use the two included trays for two 3.5" drives and two 2.5" drives, then add the third 3.5" bay and the two remaining 2.5" mounts to reach the full 3 x 3.5" and 4 x 2.5" capacity.
