Evolveo EVOLVEO M1 mATX computer case, compact mid-tower for mATX motherboards

Evolveo EVOLVEO M1 is a compact mid-tower computer case designed for micro-ATX (mATX) motherboards. The chassis provides a small footprint for home or office systems while maintaining standard internal layout for power supplies, drives and cooling. The case supports a typical arrangement of front and rear I/O ports and accommodates common component sizes so you can build a space-saving desktop with compatible cooling and storage options.

Advantages

The case combines compact external dimensions with support for full-size components where it matters: PCI expansion, multiple drive bays and a tall CPU cooler. It includes preinstalled fans for basic airflow and front-panel USB connectors for convenient access. Tool-friendly drive bays and a straightforward internal layout simplify assembly and upgrades. The compact footprint reduces desk space without requiring specialised small-form-factor parts.

Suitable for

• Home or office micro-ATX desktop builds
• Space-constrained setups where a smaller chassis is required
• Systems using one or two 3.5" drives and up to two 2.5" SSDs
• Builds that need PCI cards up to 350 mm in length

Key specifications

• External dimensions (W x H x D): 198 x 400 x 396 mm

How to use

Install a micro-ATX motherboard and compatible power supply into the chassis following the provided mounting points. Mount storage drives into the 3.5" and 2.5" bays using the tool-friendly trays or screws, connect front-panel USB and audio to the motherboard headers, and route power and data cables to maintain unobstructed airflow. Fit a graphics card up to 350 mm in length into the PCI slot area and a CPU cooler up to 160 mm tall. Use the included front and rear fan positions to establish intake and exhaust airflow; add compatible EVOLVEO LED fans if additional cooling is required.

Usage recommendations

For balanced airflow, configure the two front 120 mm LED fans as intake and the rear 120 mm fan as exhaust. If using the side fan position, select the size that matches the mounting option (140 mm or 120 mm) and ensure it does not obstruct tall memory modules or cable routing. When installing high-power graphics cards, verify clearance for cable connectors and consider additional case fans to maintain stable temperatures. EVOLVEO LED fans of various sizes and colours are compatible and can be purchased separately to improve cooling or aesthetic lighting.
