Aerocool CS-101 Slim M-ATX Computer Case - Black

The black case body made of 0.5 mm thick steel is largely conventional, with a large surface area interrupted by a few air inlets and outlets, so that the power supply unit and other components can "breathe". The black front view is completely different with leather coating and gently flowing lines. The Aerocool designers of the Cs-101 have succeeded excellently in integrating the I/O panel into the front section while still setting tasteful accents. In addition to the I/O panel, including two USB 3.0 ports, one audio in/out each and the illuminated power button (with play symbol!), the designers have integrated a vertical slot for an optical drive into the design. The also black interior is practically constructed and offers space for a mainboard with Mini-ITX or even Micro-ATX size mounted on its edge, four openings for expansion cards are correspondingly available at the rear. The tower leaves room for a graphics card up to 240 mm long and a top blower CPU cooler up to 80 mm high. An 80 mm fan is installed in the lid of the tower and can be supplemented by an 80 mm fan in the base. If the housing is to be installed horizontally, these are on the left (optional) and on the right (pre-installed). An SFX power supply unit is to be attached at the front right, the cold appliance line is routed from the rear to the front and blows the waste heat upwards. Also to be found in the front area is a tray for a 5.25-inch bay, although the latter can also give way to a 3.5-inch drive or a 2.5-inch SSD instead. In addition there are dedicated slots for one of the named drives in the black Aerocool Cs-101.
