## Long description

The Chieftec CQ-01B-U3-OP Midi Tower is a black PC case designed to house Micro ATX and ATX motherboards while providing flexible drive and cooling options. It supports two external 5.25" drives, one external 3.5" drive and three internal 3.5" drives behind the front panel, and places commonly used connectors such as USB and audio on an easy-to-access front panel. The top-mounted power supply layout and compact dimensions (160mm W x 428mm D x 410mm H) make it suitable for desktop and small-office builds.
Advantages
The case offers versatile drive bay configuration with support for multiple 5.25" and 3.5" drives and front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports for quick device connections. Its fan support—three 120mm and two 80mm fan positions—allows for effective airflow management and a balanced thermal solution. The Midi Tower form factor provides compatibility with Micro ATX and ATX motherboards while maintaining a moderate footprint and a lightweight design at approximately 4.5 kg.

How to use
Install a compatible Micro ATX or ATX motherboard on the tray and mount the power supply in the top compartment. Fit hard drives and optical drives into the provided external and internal bays behind the front panel, connect front-panel USB and audio cables to the motherboard headers, and then install case fans in the supported positions to achieve desired airflow. Route cables to maintain unobstructed airflow and secure side panels before powering on.
Usage recommendations
For optimal cooling, configure intake fans at the front (120mm) and exhaust fans at the rear/top (80mm), and avoid placing large components that block airflow near front fan locations. Ensure the PSU length is compatible with the top-mounted position and check clearance for any aftermarket CPU cooler or GPU within the Midi Tower dimensions.
