Tower Chassis for Mini-ITX Storage Builds

This compact tower accepts a Mini-ITX motherboard and provides three front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-swap bays. A single internal 2.5-inch bay and one expansion slot complete the storage-focused layout. It suits builders who want a small-footprint NAS or direct-attached storage server without a rackmount form factor.

Sustained Operation With Hot-Swap Drives

Three trayless bays support 6.0Gb/s SATA or SAS hard drives and allow drive changes while the system runs. The single 120mm fan draws air across the drive cage to maintain steady temperatures during continuous read and write workloads. Aluminium and steel construction resists vibration when all bays are populated.

Thermal and Acoustic Profile

The 120mm fan provides baseline airflow for three spinning drives and a Mini-ITX board in a chassis measuring 8.90 by 8.68 by 12.76 inches. Front USB 2.0 ports add convenience without increasing internal heat load. Builders who need redundant cooling or silent operation will require additional fan mounting options not present in this design.

Questions about this item

How much noise and heat does the 120 mm fan produce when the chassis runs all day?

The single 120 mm fan provides active airflow through the aluminium and steel chassis, helping to dissipate heat from up to three 3.5" drives during continuous operation.

Which power supply must I already own to use this tower?

The chassis accepts a Flex ATX power supply, which is not included and must be purchased separately.

Will my existing 6 Gb/s SATA or SAS hard drives work in the hot-swap bays?

Yes, the three trayless 3.5" bays support 6.0 Gb/s SATA and SAS drives for direct hot-swap use.
