Discover the perfect foundation for your next space-saving project with the CHIEFTEC IX-01B PC tower case. Engineered for maximum efficiency in a minimal footprint, this case is the ideal solution for building a powerful yet discreet system. Whether you´re creating a silent home theater PC (HTPC), a compact office workstation, a digital signage player, or an industrial thin-client, the IX-01B delivers exceptional versatility and a sleek, professional aesthetic that blends seamlessly into any environment. Its intelligent design prioritizes space-saving without compromising on essential functionality, making it a top choice for builders who demand both performance and minimalism.

Key Benefits for Your Compact Build:

* Extreme Space Efficiency: With its incredibly small and slim profile, the IX-01B can be placed almost anywhere. Set it vertically on your desk with the included stand, lay it horizontally in a media cabinet, or mount it discreetly behind a monitor using a VESA mounting kit (sold separately) for a true all-in-one feel.
* Versatile Application: The minimalist and robust design makes this case a flexible platform for a wide range of applications. It is perfectly suited for office environments where desk space is at a premium, as well as for home users seeking a clean and unobtrusive media center.
* Smart and Flexible Design: The case is thoughtfully constructed to be both user-friendly and adaptable. It includes a vertical stand for immediate upright placement and features a simple, tool-friendly interior layout that makes installing your Mini ITX motherboard and components a straightforward process.

Main Features:

* Ultra-Compact Mini Form Factor for minimal desk or shelf footprint.
* Exclusive support for the Mini ITX motherboard standard.
* Internal mounting options for up to two 2.5" SSDs or HDDs.
* Convenient front-panel I/O with USB 3.0 ports for fast data access.
* Includes a stable vertical stand for flexible orientation.
* Robust and durable steel chassis for component protection.

Power Supply and Compatibility:

Please note that this chassis is designed for ultimate compactness and is therefore Not Compatible with standard ATX or SFX power supplies. It requires a Pico-PSU solution paired with an external power adapter (such as the CHIEFTEC CDP-090ITX, sold separately) to power your system. This design choice eliminates the need for an internal PSU fan, contributing to a quieter and more thermally efficient build.
