It pairs a full mesh front panel for improved airflow with a bundled 500W ATX PSU, so builders can get a complete foundation without sourcing a separate power supply. A straightforward, no-frills design makes it a practical starting point for compact office or home PCs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull mesh front panel for passive airflow\u003c\/strong\u003e — The mesh front bezel promotes consistent front-to-rear airflow without needing additional intake fans, keeping noise low in office environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e500W ATX PSU included in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e — A 500W power supply with a 20+4 pin ATX connector and 4-pin CPU connector is bundled, reducing the number of components a builder needs to source separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards\u003c\/strong\u003e — The chassis accommodates both Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form factors, giving builders flexibility when choosing a motherboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB 3.0 front panel port\u003c\/strong\u003e — A USB 3.0 port on the front I\/O panel provides fast transfers for external drives and peripherals without reaching around to the back of the system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntel TAC 2.0 thermal chassis approval\u003c\/strong\u003e — The case carries Intel's TAC 2.0 thermal chassis certification, confirming it meets defined airflow standards for Intel platform builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenerous storage bay count for a compact case\u003c\/strong\u003e — With two 5.25\", two external 3.5\", three internal 3.5\" and two internal 2.5\" drive bays, there is ample room to fit optical drives, hard drives and SSDs in a compact footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable
